(kirsty maccoll)
Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts
Can make you feel nothing at all
Theyll never remember and theyll never mind
If youre counting the cracks in the wall
Theyre quick and theyre greedy
They never feel guilty
They dont know the meaning of hurt
The boots just go back on
The socks that had stayed on
The next time they see you
They treat you like dirt
The next time they treat you like dirt
Now dont come the cowboy with me sonny jim
I know lots of those and youre not one of them
Theres a light in your eyes tells me somebodys in
And you wont come the cowboy with me
Dont be too rough on my cold, cold heart
Its all Ive got left to me now
I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere
And Im here for the hell of it now
Some girls play cowboys
And some boys play harder to get
But theyre got just the same
They smile and say cheese
Theyre so eager to please
But theyll never remember your name
The names and the places all change
But dont come the cowboy with me sonny jim
I know lots of those and youre not one of them
Theres a light in your eyes tells me somebodys in
And you wont come the cowboy with me
Did somebody tell you Im lonely as hell?
I didnt expect you to know me so well
If I learned a lesson its how to bounce back again
Sometimes I bounce off the wall
And sometimes my head hits the floor
So dont come the cowboy with me sonny jim
I know lots of those and youre not one of them
Theres a light in your eyes tells me somebodys in
And you wont come the cowboy, oh
Dont come the cowboy with me sonny jim
I know lots of those and youre not one of them
Theres a light in your eyes tells me somebodys in
And you wont come the cowboy with me
