You Shouldn't Look At Me That Way Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Am I fine, am I pleasing 

Are you pitying, are you teasing 

You shouldn't look at me 

You shouldn't look at me that way 

Shoot a glance from you, just shoot through me 

If a glimpse of you couldn't do me 

You shouldn't look at me 

You shouldn't look at me that way 

Time among all of your enemies 

Leaves you nothing but bitter memories 

From the first splash of affection 

To avoiding your own reflection 

You shouldn't look at me 

You shouldn't look at me that way

Now the flashbulbs bedazzle 

While you're figuring out the spasm 

You shouldn't look at me 

You shouldn't look at me that way 

Don't take more than I offer 

All my love or I'll make you suffer 

You shouldn't look at me 

You shouldn't look at me that way

Time among all of your enemies 

Makes disguises from drastic melodies 

From the first splash of deteption[?] 

To avoiding your own reflection 

You shouldn't look at me 

You shouldn't look at me that way 

You shouldn't look at me that way
