Sweetness and Tenderness Lyrics
I need to figure this out
And find where my place is
I don't mean to threaten anyone
no need to get so defensive
You say you're with me
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care
I guess it's real simple
It's just like when Gary Nuwman said,
"You're just a viewer, cold and distant
You are just business, you're worthless"
You say you're with me
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care
Sweetness [ohhh sweetness]
I need some tenderness [ten der ness]
Sweetness [ohh sweetness]
I need some tenderness [ten der ness]
You know it's just like Judas say
I been your right hand man all along
My admiration for you hasn't died
I haven't forgotten how put down we are
You say you're with me
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care
Sweetness [ohhh sweetness]
I need some tenderness [ten der ness]
Sweetness [ohh sweetness]
I need some tenderness [ten der ness]
Come away with me
Come away with me
Sweetness
Come away with me
We can hide in peace
And we can finally rest
This melody's long, and I do care
This melody's fun?, yes I care
And find where my place is
I don't mean to threaten anyone
no need to get so defensive
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care
It's just like when Gary Nuwman said,
"You're just a viewer, cold and distant
You are just business, you're worthless"
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care
I need some tenderness [ten der ness]
Sweetness [ohh sweetness]
I need some tenderness [ten der ness]
I been your right hand man all along
My admiration for you hasn't died
I haven't forgotten how put down we are
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care
I need some tenderness [ten der ness]
Sweetness [ohh sweetness]
I need some tenderness [ten der ness]
Come away with me
Sweetness
Come away with me
We can hide in peace
And we can finally rest
This melody's fun?, yes I care

Hello Hello
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
love this song, as i do most rentals songs
Agreed. The perfect song to close a perfect album.
the new version of this song, on the Last Little Life EP is fantastic.
the last stanza says, "this melody's wrong, and i do care, this melody's wrong, yes i care"
Oh my goodness this song is SO about Rivers.
It's like when rappers talk shit about each other in songs!
Matt wins because everything Weezer did without him just sucks.
BURRRN!
it mentions a gary numan song from the pleasure principle. Dang.
