You've Let Yourself Go Lyrics - Liza With A "z": A Concert For Television [live] - Liza Minnelli

So we're alone again tonight, I read a book, you watch the fight 

A stifled yawn, a can of beer, what an enthralling atmosphere 

And yet the sight of us this way, helps me to say what I must say 

It helps me to think a thought or two, to pass it right along to you 

And just for starters you should know I think 

You've let yourself go 

Down through the years each sage repeats, grass never grows on busy streets 

Which might explain that balding spot, were you a thinker, which you're not 

And where's that slender youth I knew, I fear he's grown an inch or two 

Not up and down my joy and pride but more precisely side to side

When at a party, now and then, you tell the same old jokes again 

Or wear a lampshade for a hat, who could be wittier than that 

With one too many you just might, pick some unnecessary fight 

Though in the morning with the sun, you can't remember what you've done 

If there's regret, it doesn't show, you know 

You've let yourself go 

You never care the way you dress, you stay unshaven, you look a mess 

The smallest thing is too much to do, I even hold the door for you 

And every rose upon the shelf, is one that I've supplied myself 

It's not the same, I'm well aware, yet I need to see them there 

I don't know why I say it now, why I don't hold my tongue somehow 

But I just need to tell it all, no matter where the chips may fall 

But as I sit and reminisce, there are so many things I miss 

The reassurance of your touch, the gentle smile that said so much 

You were my tender, thoughtful beau

I couldn't hate you if I tried, and I still want you by my side 

We oughta lay things on the line, perhaps the fault is really mine 

And if it is, please tell me so, a seed replanted still can grow 

Maybe that's all we need to know, come close to me and let yourself go
