Lou Reed

In berlin, by the wall
You were five foot ten inches tall
It was very nice
Candlelight and dubonnet on ice

We were in a small cafe
You could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
It was paradise

You're right and i'm wrong
Hey babe, i'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day

Oh, you're right and i'm wrong
You know i'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
One sweet day

In a small, small cafe
We could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
Candlelight and dubonnet on ice

Don't forget, hire a vet
He hasn't had that much fun yet
It was very nice
Hey honey, it was paradise

You're right and i'm wrong
Oh babe, i'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
You're right, oh, and i'm wrong
You know i'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
One sweet day

One sweet day, one sweet day
Oh, one sweet day
One sweet day, baby-baby, one sweet day
One sweet day, one sweet day

Lisa says, on a night like this
It'd be so nice, if you gave me a great big kiss
And lisa says, honey, for just one little smile
I'll sing and play for you for the longest while

Lisa says
Lisa says
Lisa says, oh, no
Lisa says

Lisa says, honey, you must think -
- i'm some kind of california fool
The way you treat me just like some kind of tool
Lisa says, hey baby, if you stick your tongue in my ear
Then the scene around here will become very clear

Lisa says, oh no
Lisa says, hey, don't you be a little baby
Lisa says, oh, no
Lisa says

Hey, if you're looking for a good time charlie
Well, that's not really what i am
You know, some good time charlie
Always out, having his fun

But if you're looking for some good, good lovin'
Then sit yourself right over here
You know that those good, those good times
They just seem to pass me by, just like pie in the sky

And lisa says, on a night like this
It'd be so nice if you gave me a great big kiss
And lisa says, hey baby, for just one little smile
I'll sing and play for you for the longest while
Let me hear you now

Lisa says, oh, no, no
Lisa says, hey, don't you be a little baby
Lisa says, oh, no
Lisa says

Why am i so shy
Why am i so shy, gee, you know those
Good good times, they just seem to pass me by
Why am i so shy

First time i saw you i was talking to myself
I said, hey, you got such pretty, pretty eyes
(that pretty eyes)

Now that you're next to me i just get so upset
And lisa, will you tell me, why am i so shy

Why am i so shy
Why am i so shy, well, you know that those
Good, good times, they just seem to pass me by
Why am i so shy

And lisa says, on a night like this
It'd be so nice if you gave me a great big kiss
And lisa says, honey, for just one little smile
I'll sing and play for you for the longest while

Lisa says, oh, no, now
Lisa says, hey don't you be a little baby
Lisa says, oh, no
Lisa says

I was talkin' to chuck in his genghis khan suit
And his wizard's hat
He spoke of his movie and how he was makin'
A new sound track

And then we spoke of kids on the coast
And different types of organic soap
And the way suicides don't leave notes
Then we spoke of lorraine
Always back to lorraine

I was speakin' to phil who was given to pills
And small racing cars
He had given them up since his last crack-up
Had carried him too far

Then we spoke of the movies and verse
And the way an actress held her purse
And the way life at times can get worse
Then we spoke of lorraine
Always back to lorraine

Ah, she's a wild child
And nobody can get at her
She's a wild child
Oh, and nobody can get to her

Sleepin' out on the street
Oh, livin' all alone
Without a house or a home
And then she asked you, please
Hey, baby, can i have some spare change
Oh, can i break your heart?

She's a wild child, she's a wild child

I was talkin' to betty about her auditions
How they made her ill
But life is the theater, is certainly fraught
With many spills and chills

But she'd come down after some wine
Which is what happens most of the time
Then we sat and both spoke in rhymes
Till we spoke of lorraine
Ah, always back to lorraine

I was talking to ed who'd been reported dead
By mutual friends
He thought it was funny that i had no money
To spend on him

So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese
And sang of our lives and our dreams
And how things can come apart at the seams
And we talk of lorraine
Always back to lorraine

She's a wild child
Oh, and nobody can get at her
She's a wild child
Oh, and nobody can get to her

Sleepin' out on the street
Oh, livin' all alone
Without a house or a home
And then she asked you, please,
Oh, baby, can i have some spare change
Now can i break your heart?"

She's a wild child, she's a wild child

Looking for another chance
For someone else to be
Looking for another place
To ride into the sun

Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Where -

- everything seems so pretty
But if you're tired and you're sick of the city
Remember that it's just a flower
Made out of clay
Oh-oh-oh, the city -

- where everything seems so dirty
But if you're tired and you're filled with self-pity
Remember that you're just one more
Person who's there

It's hard to live in the city
It's hard to live in the city, oh, oh-oh
It's hard to live in the city, oh, wow-wow
It's hard to live in the city

I got hearts, ah, in my looney tunes
I got dreams and you do, too
I got ten wheel drive
To pick you up, up to your ears, oh

I got refined carbon in my eyelids, dear
I've got no one to love and no one to fear

You better walk it
And talk it less you lose that beat
You better lose yourself mama
And knock yourself right off of your feet

If you're moving too fast
Don't you want it to last
You better walk it, talk it
You better walk it as you talk it less you lose that beat
Oh

I've got dimes in my shoes real nice
I've got bells that are laid on ice
I got dreams
Let me mix it with a little gin

I got cool when i'm cold and warm when i'm hot
But me is the one thing baby, you ain't got

You got to walk it
And talk it less you lose that beat
You better lose yourself mama
And knock yourself right off of your feet

Yeah, if you're moving too fast
Now don't you want it to last, ah
You better walk it, talk it
You better walk it as you talk it less you lose that beat

You better walk it
And talk it less you lose that beat
You better lose yourself mama
And knock yourself right off of your feet

Yeah, if you're moving too fast
Now don't you want it to last
You better walk it, talk it
You better walk it as you talk it less you lose that beat
Ah-ha-ha
Oh, all right, ooohhh
