The Days Take Care Of Everything Lyrics - Elvis Costello

The Days Take Care Of Everything 

(Costello) 

If you wanna feel sorry for yourself 

Then go ahead, I'm not gonna stop you 

Sometimes you're just like a petulant child 

You seem to get so much satisfaction 

Just from being denied 

And now that he's taken 

Everything you can give 

You come to me asking 

How can I continue to live

Chorus: 

The days take care of everything 

You've had your fling 

You poor little thing 

But don't despair 

Yes the days take care of everything 

You'll pass on the street 

You'll know him from someplace 

But you won't know where 

The days take care of everything 

Photos 

We sat up all night and talked it through 

You drank down the bottle 

And I blew a lower note 

I said " Now I must be going now it' s getting late" 

But what if I was less of a friend 

And more of a traitor 

But how could you know 

How I was longing inside 

Our eyes never met 

And my hands stayed by my side 

And as you gave me a rather 

Affectionate kiss 

How could you know 

I had been waiting 

For a chance like this 

I've been an upstate conventional turn 

I overheard a heavenly choir 

And though you still turn to me 

From time to time 

One day you're up in the clouds 

Next thing you're down with the 

Sweet Adelines 

And now I can see 

It was not meant to be 

You'll take him back 

And never spare another thought 

From me 

Chorus
