I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar 1
I am the son and heir
of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way 2
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar 1
I am the son and heir
of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way 2
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go
you could meet somebody who really loves you 3
so you go, and you stand on your own
and you leave on your own 4
and you go home, and you cry
and you want to die 5

When you say it's gonna happen "now" 6
well, when exactly do you mean?
see I've already waited too long
and all my hope is gone. 7,8

You shut your mouth 9
how can you say 9
I go about things the wrong way 9
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
