Now there's newsprint all over your face
|
Well maybe that's why I can read you like a book
|
Just when I thought I was getting my taste to bite
|
I go and lose my appetite
|
Look at the men that you'd call uncle
|
They'd like to sink their teeth into you
|
For the pride and the pleasure
|
And the privilege of having you
|
|
If I say you're the one do you think that I'm serious
|
You get that kind of talk from older men
|
If I say I love you then I must be delirious
|
So why are you trying to put my temperature up again
|
|
Look at the men that you'd call uncle
|
Having a heart attack round your ankles
|
|
When you wake up with X-rated eyes
|
When you wake up still shaking
|
How can I apologize
|
As you check your effects and check your reflection
|
I'm so affected in the face of your affection
|
|
Look at the men that you'd call uncle
|
Having a heart attack round your ankles
|
|
I could swear, I could promise that I'll always be true to you
|
But we may not live to be so old
|
I could even say I'm going to do something new to you
|
Now the girls I see just leave me cold
|
|
Look at the men that you call uncle...
