Elvis Costello - Mistress & Maid Lyrics

  • (mccartney/macmanus)
  • She said, come in, my dear,
  • Youre looking tired tonight
  • Your bath is drawn, let me loosen your tie
  • And fix you your usual drink
  • He settles back
  • Takes a magazine
  • Kicks off his shoes
  • As he studies the form
  • Of every appealing soubrette
  • But where are the flowers that he used to bring?
  • Every endearing remark
  • Reminds her of passionate promises
  • That he only made in the dark
  • In her bed
  • She wants to shout at the back of his head
  • Look at me, look at me, look at me
  • Im afraid
  • See what its come to
  • Im just your mistress and maid
  • The wine is warm
  • But the dinner is cold
  • The look in his eye tells her it wont be long
  • Till the girls on the page come to life
  • And theyll get the flowers that he used to bring
  • With every endearing remark
  • And all of the passionate promises
  • Hell never fulfil in the dark
  • In their bed
  • She wants to shout at the back of his head
  • Look at me, look at me, now that Im not afraid.
  • See what its come to
  • Im not your mistress and maid
  • See what its come to
  • Im not your mistress and maid
