Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
                  Gm
I am the son and heir
                         Bb   C
Of nothing in particular

D#                     Bb
   You shut your mouth

I go about the things the wrong way?

I am human and I need to be loved
 D        F               Gm 
Just like everybody else does
          Gm

 There’s a club if you’d like to go
                D       F            Gm    
You could meet somebody  who really loves you

So you go and stand on your own
Bb   
  And you leave on your own 
         D                F                  Gm
And you go home and you cry and you want to die

 And all my hope is        gone
