Sour Milk Cow Blues |
| You like coffee and you like tea |
| Much more than you like me |
| And everybody says watch out, yeah |
| For the sour milk-cow blues |
| You like your coffee just a little too sweet |
| Without your sugar life is incomplete |
| I think about you everyday |
| Something about you is not the same |
| Something about the things you say |
| Sounds like a different woman with a different name |
| Sour milk-cow blues, sour milk-cow blues |
| You wear a different size and style of shoe |
| I think that someone must be poisoning you |
| To replace you with a living double |
| Get out of my life right now and save them all of the trouble |
| They changed your complexion and your personality |
| Somebody’s putting ideas in your head |
| They took the girl of my dreams and left you here instead |
| Sour milk-cow blues, sour milk-cow blues |
| You take your place in this parade of pleas |
| You dial a number and they offer relief |
| All alone with just your own device |
| They give you something and it isn’t advice |
| To break the hearts of a million listeners |
| Start out as lovers and you end up as prisoners |
| Somebody’s suffering from the things that you do |
| Somebody’s suffering but you’re glad it isn’t you |
| Put your fingertips up to the screen |
| Repeat after me, wake at the count of three |
| Now, I don’t know which is worse |
| What they’re doing to you or what you’re doing to me? |
| Sour milk-cow blues, sour milk-cow blues |
