"Gimme Sympathy" lyrics

I'm runnin' outta rope
I made a half-a-noosed
They wanna see me choke
Stick around, I was born to lose
Or you could help me out
Send up a hope and a prayer
I wouldn't let you down
You look like you got a dime to spare

Gimme your sympathy
Gimme a little bit
Gimme your sympathy
Don't be a down heart breaker

Hey, look at me now
I put the bad boy down
Hey, look at me now
I'm a hand shaker, a deal maker
Could you get a little more for me?
I need to get these women off of me
I guess I lied when I said it
I need a little love, but, honey, you won't regret it

Gimme your sympathy
Gimme a little bit
Gimme your sympathy
Don't be a down heart breaker
Gimme your sympathy
I'm gonna turn it around
Gimme your sympathy
You wouldn't let me drown

Sayin' I'm a joker, a smoker
I like whiskey and poker, but don't know when it's all over
I takes tokes every minute
Only high when I'm livin', pray to God when I'm sinnin'
Said I'm all out of chances
I burned a lot bridges, my God, they were expensive
I'm askin' you where my friend is
I need a little more, lemme tell you what my rent is

Oh, you couldn't handle it
You couldn't take it all
You couldn't, you couldn't, you couldn't, you couldn't
You g-g-g-g-g-g-go

Gimme your sympathy
Gimme a little bit
Gimme your sympathy
Don't be a down heart breaker
Gimme your sympathy
I'm gonna turn it around
Gimme your sympathy
You wouldn't let me drown
