KINKS - Art Lover lyrics

rate me

Sunday afternoon there's something special<br>It's just like another world.<br>Jogging in the park is my excuse<br>To look at all the little girls.<br><br>I'm not a flasher in a rain coat,<br>I'm not a dirty old man,<br>I'm not gonna snatch you from your mother,<br>I'm an art lover.<br>Come to daddy,<br>Ah, come to daddy,<br>Come to daddy.<br><br>Pretty little legs, I want to draw them,<br>Like a degas ballerina.<br>Pure white skin, like porcelain,<br>She's a work of art and I should know<br>I'm an art lover.<br>Come to daddy,<br>And I'll give you some spangles.<br><br>Little girl don't notice me<br>Watching as she innocently plays.<br>She can't see me staring at her<br>Because I'm always wearing shades.<br>She feeds the ducks, looks at the flowers.<br>I follow her around for hours and hours.<br>I'd take her home, but that could never be,<br>She's just a substitute<br>For what's been taken from me.<br>Ah, come to daddy, come on.<br><br>Sunday afternoon can't last forever,<br>Wish I could take you home.<br>So, come on, give us a smile<br>Before you vanish out of view.<br>I've learned to appreciate you<br>The way art lovers do,<br>And I only want to look at you.
