  • You are so sweet
    Dancing to the beat

    There's a meat market down the street
    The boys and the girls watch each other eat

    You are so sweet, so sweet
    Dancing and moving to that beat, that beat

    There's a meat market down the street
    The boys and girls watch each other eat
    The boys and the girls watch each other eat
    When they really just wanna watch each other
    Sleep
    They want to watch, to watch each other
    Sleep, sleep sleep
    Sleep
    They want to watch, to watch each other
    Sleep, sleep, sleep

    You are so sweet
    You are so sweet

    I'm walking through the city
    Like a drunk, but not
    With my slip showing a little
    Like a drunk, but not
    And I am one of your people
    But the cars don't stop
    And I am one of your people
    But the cars don't stop
    And it's been a long time since before I've been touched
    Now I'm getting touched all the time
    And it's only a matter of whom
    And it's only a matter of when

    An addiction to hands and feet
    There's a meat market down the street
    The boys and girls watch each other eat
    When they really just wanna watch each other sleep

    An addiction to hands and feet
    There's a meat market down the street
    The boys and girls watch each other eat
    When they really just wanna watch each other sleep

    Sleep
    They want to watch, to watch each other
    Sleep, sleep, sleep
    They want to watch, to watch each other
    Sleep, sleep, sleep
    They want to watch, to watch each other
    Sleep, sleep, sleep

    You are so sweet
    You are so sweet
    You are so sweet
    You are so sweet Writer/s: REGINA SPEKTOR
