How Soon Is Now?

I am the son and the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and the heir of nothing in particular



You shut your mouth, how can 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 can 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

Well, when exactly do you mean

See I've already waited too long

And all my hope is gone



You shut your mouth, how can you say

I go about things the wrong way

I am human, and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does
