You'll know you were loved
(Lou Reed)
Some things come to he who waits
But all is lost if you hesitate
And I was never one to wait
You'll know you were loved
You can hire great lawyers, you can speak to your friends
You can say he did this and that, some things don't change
Unwrap the present and burn the remains
You'll know you were loved
Now, you take Rosco, he ain't much
People say things are ruined after his touch
It's like a tar was drippin' from his brush, but
You'll know you were loved
Or Stan or Jake, emerging from your past
From those love affairs that didn't last
But me, I'll give it my last gas band
You'll know you were loved
A parrot, a donkey, a dog or bone
Some of us never had a home
And if we did, we left it long ago
And didn't know we were loved
Empty as a wooden clock
Left in the woods at 12 o'clock
Besides, all of us could've spring his pop
But you'll know you were loved
Even when you sleep at night
Inside, your heart will cry
You can never say goodbye when
You'll know you were loved
Underachievers of the world, unite
You have nothing to lose, except your fright
And together, we can perhaps pass a night when
You know we were loved
And together, we can perhaps pass a night when
You'll know you were loved
