Sixto Rodriguez - I Wonder Lyrics
I wonder how many times you've been hadAnd I wonder how many plans have gone badI wonder how many times you had sexI wonder do you know who'll be nextI wonder l wonder wonder I doI wonder about the love you can't findAnd I wonder about the loneliness that's mineI wonder how much going have you gotAnd I wonder about your friends that are notI wonder I wonder I wonder I doI wonder about the tears in children's eyesAnd I wonder about the soldier that diesI wonder will this hatred ever endI wonder and worry my friendI wonder I wonder wonder don't you?I wonder how many times you been hadAnd I wonder how many dreams have gone badI wonder how many times you've had sexAnd I wonder do you care who'll be nextI wonder I wonder wonder I doLIKE JANIS sometimes incorrectly listed as JANE S. PIDDY2:32And you measure for wealth by the things you can holdAnd you measure for love by the sweet things you're toldAnd you live in the past or a dream that you're inAnd your selfishness is your cardinal sin.And you want to be held with highest regardIt delights you so much if he's trying so hardAnd you try to conceal your ordinary waysWith a smile or a shrug or some stolen cliche.'Cos emotionally you're the same basic tripAnd you know that I know of the times that you've slippedSo don't try to impress me, you're just pins and paintAnd don't try to charm me with things that you ain't.And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress'Cos a monkey in silk is a monkey no lessSo measure for measure reflect on my saidAnd when I won't see you then measure it dead.'Cos don't you understand, and don't you look aboutI'm trying to take nothing from youSo why should you act so put out for me?
