How Soon Is Now?"



I am the son and the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and heir

Of nothing in particular



You shut your mouth

How dare you say

I go about things the wrong way

I am human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does



I am the son and the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and heir

Of nothing in particular



You shut your mouth

How dare you say

I go about things the wrong way

I am human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does



There's a club if you'd like to go you

Could meet somebody who really loves you

So you go, and you stand on your own and

You leave on your own and you go home,

And you cry and you want to die.



When you say it's gonna happen "now",

When exactly do you mean? see I've already

Waited too long and all my hope is gone



You shut your mouth

How dare you say

I go about things the wrong way

I am human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does
