John Martyn Lyrics
"Dealer"

Well I cannot be your lover
And I will not be your friend
Well, I know you say you need me
But I have no time to spend.
We could talk like this for hours
I just end up getting bored
'Cause no one needs a dealer
Just the day before a score

Let me in, let me in
Let me in, sweet darling, let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, sweet darling, let me in, let me in

Well, you think that you can leave me
'Cause you're leavin' goin' away just for a little while
Well, you think that I can leave you
Leavin' going away just for a change of style

Well the children up there dig my shit
So I sell it to them cheap
But they bring the scales and check the lid
'Cause they're scared that I might cheat
Well, you're just a spit and polish
On a fat man's shiny shoe
And I think I hate them for it
And I think they hate me too

Let me in, let me in
Let me in, sweet darling, let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, sweet darling, let me in, let me in

Well, you spend your whole life moanin' down
A telephone for bread
You can't get to sleep for tryin'
To remember what you said
You come around most any time
Sellin' a bunch of 'caine
What you see is what you get
Catch me if you can

Let me in, let me in
Let me in, sweet darling, let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, sweet darling, let me in, let me in

Well, you think that you can leave me
'Cause you're leavin', goin' away just for a little while
Well, you think that I can leave you
Leavin', going away just for a change of style

Well, I cannot be your lover
And I will not be your friend
Well, I know you say you need me
But I have no time to spend.
We could talk like this for hours
I just end up getting bored
'Cause no one needs a dealer
Just the day before a score

Let me in,
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
