Lover Be Kindly Lyrics

I walk in a gutter, love, all up and down.
Little drop of water's all it takes to bring me down.
Now, I might not be here next time you look around,
So be kind to the swallow hov'ring at your brow.
If my enemies don't get me, my friends'll know how.

Hey, love, be kind, I'm too old to die,
And I'm too young to cry.
Lover, lover, lover, lover, lover be kind.

Why did you give me your feelings if you didn't want
the same?
Forgive me if I'm feeble, but I'm rather new at your
game.
Now you ask for my number to call to play.
You'll have to buy me a phone, an' write down the
number, babe.
I won't be responsible for letting you in again. Hey, love, be kind, I'm too old to die,
And I'm too young to cry.
Lover, lover, lover, lover, love, lover be kind.

Is that a joke for the insane? You called and you ask
how I am?
I've put my bubble gum away, I changed to a rhyme.
I've got my bell around my neck in case I go blind.
Don't worry, I'll get my head out from your twine,
If you'll please get your cut throat off of my knife.

Hey, love, be kind, too old to die,
And I'm too young to cry.
Lover, lover, lover, lover, lover be kind.
Hey, but love, love, love, love, please don't be mine.
