Elvis Costello & The Imposters
You Shouldn’t Look at Me That Way
[Verse 1]
Am I fine? Am I pleasing?
Are you pitying? Are you teasing?
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way
Should a glance from you just shoot through me
If a glimpse of you could undo me
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way

[Chorus]
Time among all of your enemies
Leaves you nothing but bitter memories
From the first splash of affection
To avoiding your own reflection
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way

[Verse 2]
Now the flashbulbs bedazzle
While you're figuring out the spasm
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way
Don't take more than I offer
All my love or I'll make you suffer
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way
[Chorus]
Time among all of your enemies
Makes disguises from drastic melodies
From the first splash of detection
To avoiding your own reflection
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way

[Outro]
You shouldn't look at me that way
