You like coffee and you like tea

Much more than you like me

And everybody says watch out yeah

For the sour milk-cow blues

You like your coffee just a little too sweet

Without your sugar life is incomplete

And everybody says watch out yeah

For the sour milk-cow blues



I think about you everyday

Something about you is not the same

Something about the things you say

Sounds like a different woman with a different name

Sour milk-cow blues



You wear a different size and style of shoe

I think that someone must be poisoning you

To replace you with a living double

Get out of my life right now and save them all of the trouble

They changed your complexion and your personality

Somebody's putting ideas in your head

They took the girl of my dreams and left you here instead

Sour milk-cow blues



You take your place in this parade of pleas

You dial a number and they offer relief

All alone with just your own device

They give you something and it isn't advice

To break the hearts of a million listeners

Start out as lovers and you end up as prisoners

Somebody's suffering from the things that you do

Somebody's suffering but you're glad it isn't you

Put your fingertips up to the screen

Repeat after me, wake at the count of three

Now I don't know which is worse

What they're doing to you or what you're doing to me

Sour milk-cow blues
