Men Called Uncle Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Men Called Uncle Lyrics

    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

    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

    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 men 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 can i apologize
    As you check your effects and check your reflection
    I'm so affected in the face of your affection

    Look at the men 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 men that you call uncle...
