Soothe Me Lyrics - Vonda Shepard

Maybe I should wander through these streets a little longer 

Hey New York City won't you welcome me back home? 

And darling I love you but I swear that I'll be gone 

By the time you figure out what you want 

Maybe I should wander through my solitude a little longer 

Turn your head now sailor, well I used to be so much stronger 

How in the hell did I get here? In this city so alone 

Oh sometimes life seems so long 

You can't soothe me with your sweet voice if I can't be your first choice 

You can't soothe me with your deep eyes if I can't be your first prize 

You can't soothe me with affection if it's pointed in the wrong direction 

Unless you think that I'm perfection, unless you think that I'm perfection 

Maybe I should wander through these streets a little longer 

Find my ruthless angel that will carry me home 

'Cause we all wanna go home and we search for love our whole lives 

I found a man who only wants to be alone, yeah, yeah 

You can't soothe me with your sweet voice if I can't be your first choice 

You can't soothe me with your deep eyes if I can't be your first prize 

You can't soothe me with affection if it's pointed in the wrong direction 

Unless you think that I'm perfection, unless you think that I'm perfection 

Maybe down the road who knows you'll get it together 

With all your charm my hope grows it's wonderful 

But you're flirting only as a friend 

You touch my heart and promise everything 

It'll be a mighty cold winter 

Five million people couldn't one of them be you 

And darling I love you but I swear that I'll be gone 

By the time you figure out what you want 

You can't soothe me with your sweet voice if I can't be your first choice 

You can't soothe me with your deep eyes if I can't be your first prize 

You can't soothe me with affection if it's pointed in the wrong direction 

Unless you think that I'm perfection, you can't soothe me yeah
