Barry Manilow - Not What You See lyrics

rate me

Wait a minute baby

I'll be right back

I just gotta talk

to a friend

for a couple of minutes

I see you looking

at the two of us

and what do you see

the oldest couple at the Mayflower

Esther and Me

I push her in the chair

I know she'd walk

if she could

she says "Take your pills"

as if they do any good

I'll bet you think

that what you're looking

at is all we are

two old people forgetting

the way we were

Sonny, no one is

what they look like

everyone's so much more

Sonny, no one is

what they look like

and we're not what

you see that's for sure

You should have known her before

you should have known her before

legs she had legs

that made the guys drool

and her waist was as small

as your neck

and the face and the hair

and the rest of her

and when I look at her now

I still see her young and beautiful

she's my girl and I'm her Joe

and we're not what you see

In a minute baby I'll be right back

I just got some more to say

to my young new friend here

Esther just turned 80 and I'm 83

the oldest couple at the Mayflower

Esther and me

I knew that when I saw her

we were meant to be one

she says she didn't notice me

but don't you believe her

I'll bet you think that what you're looking at

is all we are

two old people

stumbling through the days

Sonny, no one is what

they look like

everyone's so much more

Sonny, no one is what

they look like

and we're not what you see

that's for sure

You should have known me before

you should have known me before

hair, I had hair the girls

loved to feel and a built

watch out Joe Poluka

I could see I could hear

I could run a mile

and when I dream of us now

I still see us young and beautiful

she's my girl and I'm her Joe

and we're not what you see

I guess I better go now

she's my family

the oldest couple

at the Mayflower

Esther and Me

I'll help her with her bath

and then I'll kiss her goodnight

and sometime's we dance

in the early moonlight

I'll bet you think that what

you're looking at is all we are

two old people

watching the days go by

Sonny, no one is what

they look like

everyone's so much more

Sonny no one is what

they look like

and we're not what you see

that's for sure

I'll be right there darlin'
