Velvet Underground Lyrics

"Sheltered Life" lyrics


Never been to london, never been to franceNever was sorry never learned to danceNever walked down to 42nd street and frairsNever smoked any filtered air
Guess it's true what all the people sayGonna have to mend my old time ways, yeahI guess it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life
Never walked about on the streets at nightNever got into an uptown fightNever smoked a hookah, never saw a rugCouldn't even squash a beetle bug

Guess it's true I'm gonna have to change my waysGuess it's true what all the people say, yeahI know it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life
Never went to parties in a chauffeured carNever wore a top hat 'cause I won't get farNever learned to handle all the things that I've seenMaybe I'll grow up to be big and mean
Guess it's true what all the people sayGonna have to change my old fashioned ways, wellI guess it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life
