The Long Division Lyrics by Elvis Costello

The Long Division Lyrics

    Did somebody try to catch your eye
    And almost change your sad expression?
    Did somebody's hand linger too long?
    Must i now make my confession?
    But you'll never know
    What suspicion is
    Until you lie awake

    And every night you ask yourself
    "what am i to do?"
    Can it be so hard to calculate?
    When three goes into two
    There's nothing left over

    How's it gonna feel? this time it's real
    It's not a temporary fracture
    This is what you get, the stage is set
    For you and your attempted rapture

    Is he gonna smile
    That indulgent smile
    When you come running home?

    And every night you ask yourself,
    "what am i to do?"
    Can it be so hard to calculate?
    When three goes into two
    There's nothing left over

    What am i gonna say? you turn away
    And you leave me here despairing
    What am i going to do? i look at you
    You seem to be so long past caring

    Did somebody say,
    "can we still be friends?"
    Only to find out now that it's a joke

    So ask yourself,
    "what am i to do?"
    Can it be so hard to calculate?
    When three goes into two
    There's nothing left over

    Did somebody say,
    "can we still be friends?"
    Did somebody say,
    "can we still be friends?"

    Did somebody say,
    "can we still be friends?"
    Did somebody say,
    "can we still be friends?"

    Did somebody say,
    "can we still be friends?"
    Did somebody say,
    "can we still be friends?"
