Elvis Costello
Men Called Uncle
[Verse 1]
Now there's newsprint 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 to bite
I go and lose my appetite

[Chorus 1]
Look at the men that you'd call uncle
They'd like to sink their teeth into you
For the pride and the pleasure
And the privilege of having you

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus 2]
Look at the men that you'd call uncle
Having a heart attack 'round your ankles

[Bridge]
When you wake up with X-rated eyes
When you wake up still shaking
How can I apologize
As you check your effects and check your reflection?
I'm so affected in the face of your affection
[Chorus 2]
Look at the men that you'd call uncle
Having a heart attack 'round your ankles

[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
Look at the men that you'd call uncle
Look at the men that you'd call uncle
Look at the men that you'd call uncle
