Such Unlikely Lovers Lyrics - Painted From Memory - Elvis Costello

On a hot city day, when your white shirt turns to gray 

That's when she'll arrive 

When you look how you feel, someone steps upon your heel 

That's when she will come 

Listen now, I'm not saying that there will be violins 

But don't be surprised if they appear 

Playing in some doorway 

Still I can't believe that this is happening 

(We're such unlikely lovers) 

Though no one seems to notice as they hurry by 

Ask me, what I'm thinking and I won't deny it 

(Can you believe it's happening, can you believe it's happening?)

There were no magic spells, you can keep the flowers and bells 

They just don't seem right 

Can it actually be, me and you and you and me? 

Though we're like day and night 

Listen now, I'm not saying that there will be violins 

But don't be surprised if they appear 

Playing in some doorway 

Still I can't believe that this is happening 

(We're such unlikely lovers) 

Though no one seems to notice as they hurry by 

Ask me, what I'm thinking and I won't deny it

(Can you believe it's happening?) 

I am bewildered 

(Can you believe it's happening?) 

Somebody help me 

(Can you believe it's happening?)
