Matthew Ryan - Sweetie [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Blackbirds and telephone wires and the girl from nowhere
Menthol cigarettes, bar stools and I'm going nowhere
I heard about you on the avenue
I was making it up, I was drunk, you were shut
Am I talking too much about a girl from nowhere?

Ah sweetie
Don't be cruel
You know if I wanted to believe in something
I'd believe in you

Ferry boats and dime stores in the brittle air
A ten dollar bill and the tank ain't filled, still I meet you there
I heard about you and your clubbing scene
You heard about me and my benzedrine
If you're going, girl, will you take me there?

Ah sweetie
Don't be cruel
You know if I wanted to believe in something
I'd believe in you

Ah sweetie
Don't be cruel
You know if I wanted to believe in something
I'd believe in you

I thought I sussed it out
But now I've got my doubts
She shot it off in a letter
Hey, now you're gone are you feeling better?

Ah sweetie
Don't be cruel
You know if I wanted to believe in something
I'd believe in you

Ah sweetie
Don't be cruel
You know if I wanted to believe in something
I'd believe in you
