Lou Reed - Temporary Thing Lyrics






Hey now, bitch, now, baby
you better make your face get out of here, quick
Maybe your, was getting, ah, too rich
It ain't like we ain't never seen this thing before
And if it turns you then around
then you better hit the door

But I know, oh, it's just a temporary thing
Oh yeah, it's just a temporary thing

You've read too many books, you've seen too many plays
And it's things like this, that turn you away
Hey, now, now, look, huh, look, hey look, hey look
you better think about it twice
I know that your good breeding makes it seem not so nice

It's just a temporary thing
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, it's just a temporary thing

Where's the number, where's the dime and where's the phone
I feel like a stranger, I guess you wanna go back home
Your mother, your father, your brother
I guess they wouldn't agree with me
But I don't give two shits, they're no better than me

Ah-ha, it's just a temporary thing
Oh yeah, been there before just a temporary thing
It's just a temporary thing
Ah bitch, get off my kids, temporary thing
Get out, it's just a temporary thing
Yeah now, home (it's just a temporary thing)
Temporary thing, huh, ah-ha (it's just a temporary thing)
.... (it's just a temporary thing)
.... (it's just a temporary thing)
(it's just a temporary thing)
(it's just a temporary thing)

    Can't help it, now, baby
    You better make your face get out of here, quick
    Maybe your ass was getting, aah, too rich
    It ain't like we ain't never seen this thing before
    And if it turns you then around
    Then you better hit the door
    But I know, it's just a temporary thing
    Ooh, yeah, it's just a temporary thing
    You've read too many books
    You've seen too many plays
    And it's things like this, that turn you away
    Hey, hey, now, now, look, ha, look
    Hey look, hey look, hey look, you better think about it twice
    I know that your good breeding makes it seem not so nice
    It's just a temporary thing
    Aha, aha, aha, it's just a temporary thing
    Where's the number, where's the dime and where's the phone
    I feel like a stranger
    I guess you want to go back home
    Your mother, your father, your brother
    I guess you wouldn't agree with me
    But I don't give two shits, they're no better than me
    Aha, it's just a temporary thing, oh yeah, been there before
    Just a temporary thing, oh yeah, been there before
    Ahh, bitch, get of my... temporary thing
    Get out, it's just a temporary thing...

    Great Tune...shared to the Netshows Radio "Program 114" Playlist on youtube

  3. D.... R....

    Thanks for the memories

  4. M.... J....

    Love this. Out of his solo stuff, this, Dirt, Street Hassle, and The Gun all stand out to me. But I fucking love everything of his that I've heard of. One of a kind. I've got the albums Lou Reed and Transformer at home and I love all the songs on those particularly Perfect Day, Walk on the Wild Side, Vicious, Andy's Chest, Satellite of Love, and Hangin' Round.

  5. C.... L....

    He looks fucking insane.

  6. l.... k....

    Love the hand claps and that they are not perfectly timed...

  7. M.... I....

    i have never stumbled upon a song from Reed that i dont like

  8. B.... O....

    Nice one Karen hang in there, or out

  9. J.... N....

    Lou harmonized from the sewers of life and somehow transformed disgust into ecstasy.

    J.... N....

    life rough gotta slide thoes sewers...

  10. w.... w....

    I have this on everything but 8-track

    w.... w....

    Wax cylinder too?

  11. L.... A....

    Life is...

  12. C.... B....

    disliked by THAT bitch

  13. L.... c....

    i love lous knack for taking conversation and interprets it in a musical genius
    would've loved to have seen an on-stage or film adaptation of his writings

    L.... c....

    Loud_ click_ A movie similar to what they did with "Across The Universe" but more gritty and ugly with Lou Reeds music

  14. K.... S....

    this song wold either play in the drug overdose scene or suicide attempt in the movie of my life.

    K.... S....

    Crazy! I was just thinking that myself just now; thank goodness this feeling is just a Temporary thing.

    K.... S....

    Karen Soto or having this play while you pull an American Psycho axe scene on someone ...

  15. L.... A....

    i love this tune

  16. M.... C....

    thx for upload it
