Gimme the Sweet and Lowdown

It was a moonlight mishap

You lost your party hat

Seems your lifestyle ain’t so worthwhile after all

A heavy-hearted taxi ride

Then a walk on the wild side

Did your guardian angel let you down?

Gonna lay low and play it straight

It’s time to rejuvenate

Gonna kick start your heart until you come around

I can tell you now; you’ve really gotten the blues

I can tell you now; that I’ve walked in your shoes

Gimme the sweet and lowdown

You better get outta the way

It’s history made the hard way

From a hero to a zero once again

Ain’t no time for vanity

Or this insanity

You’re maladjusted and now you’re busted once again

I can tell you now; it comes as no surprise

I can tell you now; by that look in your eyes

Gimme the sweet and lowdown

You’re looking kinda punch drunk

Cuz that’s the way you strut your stuff

With a swing and a swagger down the road you go

You shoulda made a better choice

And listened to your inner voice

You gotta get right or get left, don’t ya know

I can tell you now; it’s the peak of bad news

I can tell you now; that I’ve walked in your shoes

Gimme the sweet and lowdown

The sweet and lowdown

Gimme the sweet - the sweet and lowdown
