You know how it is

(from the CD Nails and Crosses)

You know how it is
When night falls like this
You know how it is
Being neglected
You know how it is
To beg for a kiss
You know how it is
To be rejected
How can you pretend to be
Attila the wimp?
Why do you treat me like this?
Is easy to see
What everyone needs
Everyone knows
How it is.

You know how it is
Sleeping alone
You know how it is
Going crazy
You know how it is
Spending your pay
In the arms
Of the sisters of mercy
Why do you pretend to be
Somebody else?
Why do you treat me like this?
It's easy to see
What everyone needs
Everyone knows
How it is.

You know how it is
When you're starting to slip
You know how it is
To be falling
You know how it is
When nobody's home
And everyone else
Stops calling
You can pretend to be
Elvis the tenth
Sister why do you treat me like this?
It's easy to see
What everyone needs
Everyone knows
How it is.
