He came to dinner at my place last night
The food, the wine, the mood was all to perfection
He said, my love, you'd look a dream in white
I thought, at last he's walking in my direction
And then today when I gave him a call
At first he didn't seem to get my meaning at all
And then he said
We'll talk about it later

Now you see him, now you don't
Always changing places
And I tell myself I should let go
Now you see him, now you don't
Man of many faces
I say yes and yet I guess I should say no

I ask him when I'll get to meet his folks
He always seems to find some weak explanation
My questions far to often met by jokes
A change of subject to avoid confrontation
And if it rings while I am in his flat
When I get up to answer he says, let me take that
Who was it, dear
Oh, just an old acquaintance

Now you see him, now you don't
Always changing places
And I tell myself I should let go
Now you see him, now you don't
Man of many faces
I say yes and yet I guess I should say no

Now you see him, now you don't
Never leaving traces
Maybe he's too quick and I'm too slow
Now you see him, now you don't
Only empty spaces
Never knowing where he's gonna show
