Elvis Costello & The Attractions - The Days Take Care of Everything (demo) lyrics

If you wanna feel sorry for yourself Then go ahead, I'm not gonna stop you Sometimes you're just like a petulant child You seem to get so much satisfaction Just from being denied And now that he's taken Everything you can give You come to me asking How can I continue to live The days take care of everything You've had your fling You poor little thing But don't despair Yes the days take care of everything You'll pa** on the street You'll know him from someplace But you won't know where The days take care of everything We sat up all night and talked it through You drank down the bottle And I blew a lower note I said " Now I must be going now it' s getting late" But what if I was less of a friend And more of a traitor But how could you know How I was longing inside Our eyes never met And my hands stayed by my side And as you gave me a rather Affectionate kiss How could you know I had been waiting For a chance like this I've been an upstate conventional turn I overheard a heavenly choir And though you still turn to me From time to time One day you're up in the clouds Next thing you're down with the Sweet Adelines And now I can see It was not meant to be You'll take him back And never spare another thought From me The days take care of everything You've had your fling You poor little thing But don't despair Yes the days take care of everything You'll pa** on the street You'll know him from someplace But you won't know where The days take care of everything
