Coffee, Tea and SympathyRobbie Williams

Songwriter: Glen Ballard Robbie Williams Billy Morrison

[Verse 1]
With all the will in the world
I'm still powerless
I found myself breaking the girl
The king is half undressed

[Pre-Chorus 1]
She's not my saviour
(I don't want your love)
Don't take my seed
(It's not your love that I need)
You're in no danger caressing me
But you're talking to a man I'm not supposed to be

[Chorus]
And the clothes remain the same
I fear to face the walk of shame
Been nice to know you
I'm soaking in the morning rain
Find my car, forgot your name
Been nice to hold you

[Verse 2]
Don't feel small when I don't call
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I ever did, don't answer kid
I've only lies to sell you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'll be your stranger
(I don't want your love)
If you're in need
(It's not your love that I need)
It's odd behaviour seducing me
I'm a million miles away and she's too blind to see

[Chorus]
And the clothes remain the same
I fear to face the walk of shame
Been nice to know you
I'm soaking in the morning rain
Find my car, forgot your name
Been nice to hold you

[Bridge]
Step on board the gravy train
Same old faces, different names
You bet your life I will complain
Cause I'm a sensitive boy
The real McCoy
Don't wanna stick me on your bed post
And I never really will forget you
I'm sorry, dear, have I met you
All that you take from me
Is coffee and tea and sympathy

[Chorus]
And the clothes remain the same
I fear to face the walk of shame
Been nice to know you
I'm soaking in the morning rain
Find my car, forgot your name
Been nice to hold you

[Outro]
I have my needs
I hope she leaves
(All that you take from me
Is coffee and tea and sympathy)
I have my needs
I hope she leaves
(All that you take from me
Is coffee and tea and sympathy)

[Chorus]
And the clothes remain the same
I fear to face the walk of shame
Been nice to know you
I'm soaking in the morning rain
Find my car, forgot your name
Been nice to hold you
