elvis costello & burt bacharach - the long division lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
did somebody try to catch your eye
and almost change your sad expression?
did somebody’s hand linger too long?
must i now make my confession?
but you’ll never know
what suspicion is
until you lie awake

[chorus]
and every night you ask yourself
“what am i to do?”
can it be so hard to calculate?
when three goes into two
there’s nothing left over

[verse 2]
how’s it going to feel? this time it’s real
it’s not a temporary fracture
this is what you get, the stage is set
for you and your attempted rapture
is he going to smile
that indulgent smile
when you come running home?

[chorus]

[verse 3]
what am i going to say? you turn away
and you leave me here despairing
what am i going to do? i look at you
you seem to be so long past caring
did somebody say
“can we still be friends?”
only to find out now that it’s a joke

[chorus]
so ask yourself
“what am i to do?”
can it be so hard to calculate?
when three goes into two
there’s nothing left over

[outro]
did somebody say, “can we still be friends?” [x6]
