Wave A White Flag Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Take off your shoes, hang up your wings 

Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug 

Savor the things that sobriety brings 

Drain in the last from a jug 

But when I hit the bottle, there's no tellin' what I'll do 

'Cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue 

I can't resist you, I can't wait 

To twist your loving arms 'til you capitulate 

Beat me in the kitchen, and I'll beat you in the hall 

There's nothing I love better than a free for all 

To take your pretty neck and see which way it bends 

But when it is all over we will still be friends

Wave a white flag, put away the pistol 

Too many people just can't get kissed 

But if there's nothin' I can do to make amends, baby 

Hope you don't murder me 

Oh, was it all right, or was it okay 

I'll make it all up to you someday 

Oh, but you didn't have to laugh that way 

Oh, no, you didn't have to laugh that way

But if there's nothin' I can do to make amends, baby 

Hope you don't murder me 

Gee, baby, hope you don't murder me
