Cat Empire - So Many Nights lyrics

It doesn't matter what I say, doesn't matter what I do It seems I'm gonna have to change my look for you 'Cause 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 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 'bout 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 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 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 goodnight And I can't deny that So many nights, I'm still thinking 'bout you And so many nights until I changed my suit And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair 'Cause I found what to do Put your waistcoat on
