It doesn't matter what I say
It doesn't matter what I do
It seems I'm gonna have to change my look for you cos
I've got two shoes but they've been walked too far
And I think that we could float from evening to the stars
When I see you in the distance with your friends
I look around and then I look down at my threads
It's inappropriate that I should present like a
Retired matador with unpaid rent
So many nights I'm still thinking about you
And so many nights you step in and I walk through
So he doesn't care 'cept he still combs his hair
So what am I supposed to do?
I bought a suit and I bought a top hat
And I put a red stripe down the side of my slacks
Went to the barber got my hair cut high
And I bought a ticket for the opera tonight
But when and I see you, your bodice and your pride
It's nice to greet you with an interrupted stride, besides
You say 'good evening' you don't say 'good night'
And I can't deny that
So many nights I'm still thinking about you
And so many nights until I changed my suit
And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair
Cos I found what to do
Put your waistcoat on
Put your waistcoat on
So many nights I'm still thinking about you
And so many nights you stepped in as I walked through
So he doesn't care 'cept he still combed his hair
So what was I supposed to do?
So many nights I'm still thinking about you
And so many nights until I changed my suit
And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair
Cos I found what to do
Put your waistcoat on
(Doesn't matter what I say, doesn't really matter what I do)
Put your waistcoat on
(I'm gonna have to - I'm gonna have to change my look for you)
Put your waistcoat on
Put your waistcoat on
