Elvis Costello - Five Small Words lyrics

Your rating:




Maybe you'll recognize in time

Maybe one day you will discover

All the pain that lies behind

You and your unfortunate love



Somebody might be more

Unsuitable and strange

With eyes that offer everything

And are capable of danger



My mind turns over lies you told

Things said to your other lover

Sweet as they had been to me

You lay there telling them to each other



Now I stand outside the door

My head is filled phrases

Inside someone's calling out

Their voices rise with praises



Five Small Words

"I don't want you anymore"

Five Small Words

"I don't need you anymore"

Five Small Words

Coward that you are, you would faithlessly implore

"Baby please don't leave me"

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Why did you deceive me?"



It didn't take some shiny dagger

The tattooed fingers grip and hone

I walked under some dark ladder

Heard your final loving moan

All your indiscretions are

So merciful and brief

Genteel poison sprinkled on your Spanish handkerchief



Five Small Words

"Don't you love me anymore?"

Five Small Words

But then who is keeping score?



Coward that you are, you would so faithlessly implore

"Baby please don't leave me"

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Why did you deceive me?"



Maybe in time you'll want me more

Accidentally like this '45
