Lou Reed - You'll Know You Were Loved lyrics

Some things come to he who waits But all is lost if you hesitate And I was never one to wait You'll know you were loved You can hire great lawyers, you can speak to your friends You can say, he did this and that some things don't change Unwrap the present and burn the remains But you'll know you were loved Now you take Roscoe, he ain't much People say, things are ruined after his touch It's like a tar was dripping from his brush But you'll know you were loved Or Stan or Jake emerging from your past From those love affairs that didn't last But me, I'll give it my last gasp And you'll know you were loved A parrot, a donkey, a dog, a bone Some of us never had a home And if we did we left it long ago And didn't know we were loved Empty as a wooden clock Left in the woods at twelve o'clock Insides all rusted and spring is popped But you'll know you were loved Even when you sleep at night inside your heart will cry You can never say goodbye when you know you were loved Under-achievers of the world unite You have nothing to lose except your fright And together we can perhaps past the night When you know you were loved And together we can perhaps past the night When you know you were loved
