[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Sour milk-cow blues
Sour milk-cow blues
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Sour milk-cow blues
Sour milk-cow blues
Oh, oh oh oh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
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
[Pre-Chorus 3]
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?
[Outro]
