Man Called Uncle - Elvis Costello



now those newsprints 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
