Joe Purdy - Look At You Now lyrics

rate me

My eyes were sad

And my fingers were mad

As I wrote this letter that said

'I wish you the best in your new royal address

And I wish that he were dead'

Guess you don't mind that he's got a wife

And a mistress already in place

You just throw back your hair

And you'll say you don't care

When you hide that look on your face

You used to have such a pretty little smile

Yeah, but look at you now

Yeah, but look at you now

He's a better man now that you're holding his hand

Now that he's got yours to keep

Oh, and I hope you can feel your someone who needs you

When it comes for your turn to eat

And so it seems his rich accent must mean that he's a bit brighter than me

Oh, and I guess he won't lie through the whites in his eyes

Or the gap in the front of his teeth

You used to have such a pretty little smile

Yeah, but look at you now

Yeah, but look at you now

Well, if I had to guess

I would not be impressed

By the cups of tea he can drink

No, 'cause the fatter he gets from those caviar chips

Is the faster your ship starts to sink

Oh, and I guess I can't blame you

If I had to shame you

With the things I've done since you left town

Probably have to tell your new lover

Fetch a pail of water

For your building crumbling down

You used to have such a pretty little smile

Yeah, but look at you now

Yeah, but look at you now

I screamed at your letter

For half an hour

Screamed til my throat was sore

And I lost my voice when he lost your choice

Don't ever come knock on my door

You used to have such a pretty little smile

Yeah, but look at you now

Honey, look at you now

Oh, look at you now

Look at you now

Look at you now

Oh, look at you now

Look at you now

Look at you now
