Lyrics Sheila Take a Bow (January 1987, John Porter original version) - The Smiths
Is
it
wrong
to
want
to
live
on
your
own?
No,
it's
not
wrong
but
I
must
know
How
can
someone
so
young
Sing
words
so
sad?
Sheila
take
a,
Sheila
take
a
bow
Boot
the
grime
of
this
world
in
the
crotch,
dear
And
don't
go
home
tonight
Come
out
and
find
the
one
that
you
love
And
who
loves
you
The
one
that
you
love
and
who
loves
you
Is
it
wrong
not
to
always
be
glad?
No,
it's
not
wrong
but
I
must
add
How
can
someone
so
young
Sing
words
so
sad?
Sheila
take
a,
Sheila
take
a
bow
Boot
the
grime
of
this
world
in
the
crotch,
dear
And
don't
go
home
tonight
Come
out
and
find
the
one
that
you
love
And
who
loves
you
The
one
that
you
love
and
who
loves
you
Take
my
hand
and
off
we
stride
You're
a
girl
and
I'm
a
boy
Take
my
hand
and
off
we
stride
I'm
a
girl
and
you're
a
boy
Sheila
take
a,
Sheila
take
a
bow
Throw
your
homework
onto
the
fire
Come
out
and
find
the
one
that
you
love
Come
out
and
find
the
one
you
love
