ELVIS COSTELLO - Lovable lyrics

rate me

(chorus)

It's going round the town

It's going round the town

It's going round the town

You're so lovable

My baby gave me notice to quit

I just can't get used to it

She broke my little heart in two

Now somebody else is being the same old you

(chorus)

My baby has Egyptian eyes

And a wicked look beyond compare

If you thought I was a fool for you

Then I must be a bigger fool for her

(chorus)

He'd turn the flowers of springtime into a wreath

He says he'd love you eternally

I say please please can't you keep it brief

They say they're going to bury you

Because you're so lovable

Put your money where your mouth was

You're so lovable

Each tender mumble brings us closer to bedlam

You're so lovable

The toast of the town and the talk of the bedroom

You're so lovable

You're so sweet

You're so honest

You say `I'll be true to you boy'

But I won't promise

Then you say you love me

Then you show me

As you lie there so lifelike below me

(chorus)
