Goodbye Geoffrey Drake

We are born in silence, there is nothing or no one to blame

Soon we learn to fight, or die tryin', so my father said, yeah, right

She said, we could still be friends, that don't mean nothin'

As it rushes to my head, my head

You never loved, you'd just pretend or somethin'

Darlin', you really should have said

'Cause all I wanted was a little love, all I needed was a little care

All I wanted was a little love and tenderness, yeah-yeah

I hear the siren blaze in the distance, her blood's still on my hands, oh

But there's no way I'd hide, 'cause I loved her, surely you understand, uh

Your name is Geoffrey Drake, and you're under arrest he said

And led me down the road in chains, neighbors all turned their heads

Goodbye, Geoffrey Drake, a name they never will forget

As poison rushes through my veins and steals my final breath

But all I wanted was a little love, all I needed was a little care, no

All I wanted was a little love and tenderness, yeah-yeah-yeah

We all die in silence, there is nothin', only ourselves to blame

Too much fight, no love gets you nowhere

I wish my mother had stayed

'Cause all I wanted was a little love, all I needed was a little care, alright

All I wanted was a little love and tenderness, yeah-yeah-yeah

Mmm-hey!

All I wanted was a little love, alright

All I wanted was a little care

All I needed was a little love and tenderness, yeah-yeah
