Elvis Costello - Five Small Words Lyrics
Maybe you'll recognize in timeMaybe one day you will discoverAll the pain that lies behindYou and your unfortunate loveSomebody might be moreUnsuitable and strangeWith eyes that offer everythingAnd are capable of dangerMy mind turns over lies you toldThings said to your other loverSweet as they had been to meYou lay there telling them to each otherNow I stand outside the doorMy head is filled phrasesInside someone's calling outTheir voices rise with praisesFive Small Words"I don't want you anymore"Five Small Words"I don't need you anymore"Five Small WordsCoward 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 daggerThe tattooed fingers grip and honeI walked under some dark ladderHeard your final loving moanAll your indiscretions areSo merciful and briefGenteel poison sprinkled on your Spanish handkerchiefFive Small Words"Don't you love me anymore?"Five Small WordsBut 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 moreAccidentally like this '45This '44
