Lyrics
Refrain
You need sympathy, sympathy, just sympathy
You won’t think I am free
You will not scold or say I am bold
When I treat you tenderly, tenderly
Don’t blame me, for you know
I’m but showing sympathy
Refrain
I need sympathy, sympathy, just sympathy
I won’t think you are free
I will not scold nor say you are bold
When you treat me tenderly, tenderly
Don’t blame me, for I know
You’re but showing sympathy
