Mean People Still Suck.

Sweatheart Like You Bob Dylan

Well, the pressure's down, the boss ain't here,
He gone North, he ain't around,
They say that vanity got the best of him
But he sure left here after sundown.
By the way, that's a cute hat,
And that smile's so hard to resist
But what's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?

What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?

I remember black, I remember when the only color I would wear when I went out at night was black and when I went out a night I was surrounded by people in black.
