Sad About Girls Lyrics - Elvis Costello

To all the girls that awake to escape in the morning 

You want to leave him without even a warning, a trace, or a calling card 

Sad about girls who know perfectly well why he's so sad about this girl 

He's so mad about this girl tonight 

So understanding--oh, she's so undemanding 

So in control, so on the whole--she's so good to you until it gets to you 

Sad about girls in your polythene world 

Where you unwrap and rewrap and know when she leaves 

That the next girl to suffer, putting you [posed?] 

Unwrap and love you before she can know you 

She's just got to show you the way that you're gonna be sad 

Sad about girls that awake to escape in the morning 

Get up and leave without even a warning 

But no where is sad as the girls in the night 

So ready to please you, so ready to bite 

Sad about girls who know perfectly well he's so sad about this girl 

You're so sad about your girl tonight
