Lyrics A Sheltered Life - Lou Reed

A Sheltered Life

Never been to England, never been to France
Never really learned how to dance
I’ve never taken dope and I’ve never taken drugs
Ah, I’ve never danced on a bear-skin rug
Guess it’s true, what all those people they say
I’m gonna have to lose my hometown ways
Guess it’s true, guess I’ve led a sheltered life
Never went around with anything
I’ve had a hometown life, and I haven’t ever learned to swing
Not much of a life, I haven’t seen much
I’ve been true to my wife and it’s just been too much
Guess it’s true, what all those people they say
I’m gonna have to lose my hometown ways
You know it’s true, guess I’ve led a sheltered life
Guess it’s true, what all those people they say
I’m gonna have to lose my hometown ways
I guess it’s true, guess I’ve led a sheltered life
