Lyrics for The Come On
I haven't been loved by a man in quite a while You know it ain't easy making me smile Friends have their lovers Men on a string There must be something terribly wrong with me Sometimes I feel like I haven't learned anything How do you do? Would you like to be friends? No, I just want a bed for the night Someone to tell me they care You can fake it, that's all right In the morning I won't be here It's a sacrificial altar And I'm laying down my head And I'm telling you up front -- I haven't much to give Is that how it's done, Or shall I sing and dance? Give me a chance How do you do? Do you want to be friends? Yes, that might be very nice Maybe we'll fall in love Every body has its price Mine is yours for free If you'll be in love with me I haven't been loved by a man in quite a while You know it ain't easy making me smile Friends have their lovers Men on a string There must be something terribly wrong with me
