Sympathy for the Duke Lyrics
[THE DUKE]
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long long years
Stole many a girl's soul to waste
Pleased to meet you hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
Well I saw you today at the reception
A glass of wine in your hand
[SATINE]
I knew I would meet my connection
[THE DUKE]
Well at your feet is this footloose man
But you can't always get what you want
[SATINE]
No you can't always get what you want
[BOTH]
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well you just might find you get what you need
[THE DUKE]
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed if they cup your waist
So if you need me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
[THE DUKE / MEN]
Love, Sister
Its just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
[THE DUKE/MEN (SATINE)]
Love (Love) Sister
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Love (Pleased to meet you (2X))
It's just a kiss away (It's just a kiss away)
It's just a kiss away (It's just a kiss away)
It's just a kiss away
[THE DUKE]
Hey
Baby what's my name?
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long long years
Stole many a girl's soul to waste
Pleased to meet you hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
A glass of wine in your hand
I knew I would meet my connection
Well at your feet is this footloose man
But you can't always get what you want
No you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well you just might find you get what you need
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed if they cup your waist
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
Love, Sister
Its just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Love (Love) Sister
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Love (Pleased to meet you (2X))
It's just a kiss away (It's just a kiss away)
It's just a kiss away (It's just a kiss away)
It's just a kiss away
Hey
Baby what's my name?
