Men Called Uncle Lyrics - Get Happy!! - 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
