"How Soon Is Now?"

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

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does 

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

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does 

There's a club if you'd like to go 
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own 
And you leave on your own and you go home,
And you cry and you want to die.

When you say it's gonna happen now,
When exactly do you mean? See I've already
Waited too long and all my hope is gone 

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
