Elvis Costello - Little Savage lyrics

I would have waited all my life Just to make love out of something other than spite But the beauty is the beast you're baiting Should really be worth the waiting You do something very special to Mr. average Now the lamb lies with the lion He's just a little savage And so you turn your back on me And all the hot air that only echoes stale tobacco Actions speak louder now than words By just a fraction What's the use of saying i love you whe i'm drinking to distraction We save our sanity By saying such and such After all its been discussed You say you must be touched (chorus)
