Elvis Costello - Man Called Uncle lyrics

Now those news print's all over your face Well maybe that's why I can read you like a book Just when I thought I was getting my taste a bite I go and lose my appetite Look at the man that you'd call uncle They'd like to sink their teeth in to you For the pride and the pleasure And the privilege of having you If I say you're the one do you think that I'm serious You get that kind of talk from older men If I say I love you then I must be delirious So why are you trying to put my temperature up again Look at the man that you'd call uncle Having a heart-attack 'round your ankles When you wake up with x-rated eyes When you wake up still shaking How could I apologize as your check you affects And you check your reflection I'm so affected in the face of your affection Look at the man that you'd call uncle Having a heart-attack 'round your ankles I could swear I could promise That I'll always be true to you But we may not live to be so old I could even say I'm going to do something new to you Now the girls I see just leave me cold Look at the man that you'd call uncle
