Lyrics

If I was to stand in a General Election Would you tell me about your close inspection And how I never stood for detection Or would you take another man? If I told you I had the solution to starvation All the nations would be their own salvation And those that lead us lead us not into temptation Or they pick another man? Sweetheart It's affecting me Sweetheart It's so effective Sweetheart Do you detect in me A sacred sweetheart If I told you about my plan would you believe me? This is my body, my blood, would you receive me? Or would you be the first to deceive me And take another man If I told you that I'm not the man to worry Would you believe me when I said I was really sorry? Or would you rush off in a hurry to take another man? Sweetheart Disconnect from me Sweetheart You have got no respect for me Sweetheart It's affecting me My sacred sweetheart And when you're troubled and when you're ill You know I'll help, I always will And when you're troubled and really down You know I'll always be around And when you're troubled and really broke There is hope, there's hope, there's hope Sweetheart It's affecting me Sweetheart You've got no respect for me Sweetheart It's so effective My sacred sweetheart Sweetheart Disconnect Sweetheart It's so effective Sweetheart It's affecting me My sacred sweetheart Sweetheart Sweetheart Sweetheart
