Lyrics Soothe Me - Vonda Shepard

Maybe I should wander through these streets a little longer
Hey New York City won't you welcome me back home?
And darling I love you but I swear that I'll be gone
By the time you figure out what you want

Maybe I should wander through my solitude a little longer
Turn your head now sailor, well I used to be so much stronger
How in the hell did I get here? In this city so alone
Oh sometimes life seems so long

You can't soothe me with your sweet voice if I can't be your first choice
You can't soothe me with your deep eyes if I can't be your first prize
You can't soothe me with affection if it's pointed in the wrong direction
Unless you think that I'm perfection, unless you think that I'm perfection

Maybe I should wander through these streets a little longer
Find my ruthless angel that will carry me home
'Cause we all wanna go home and we search for love our whole lives
I found a man who only wants to be alone, yeah, yeah

You can't soothe me with your sweet voice if I can't be your first choice
You can't soothe me with your deep eyes if I can't be your first prize
You can't soothe me with affection if it's pointed in the wrong direction
Unless you think that I'm perfection, unless you think that I'm perfection

Maybe down the road who knows you'll get it together
With all your charm my hope grows it's wonderful
But you're flirting only as a friend
You touch my heart and promise everything

It'll be a mighty cold winter
Five million people couldn't one of them be you
And darling I love you but I swear that I'll be gone
By the time you figure out what you want

You can't soothe me with your sweet voice if I can't be your first choice
You can't soothe me with your deep eyes if I can't be your first prize
You can't soothe me with affection if it's pointed in the wrong direction
Unless you think that I'm perfection, you can't soothe me yeah
