Costello, Elvis - You Shouldn't Look At Me That Way Lyrics
Am I fine, am I pleasing
Are you pitying, are you teasing
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way
If a glimpse of you could undo me
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way
Time among all of your enemies
Leaves you nothing but bitter memories
From the first splash of affection
To avoiding your own reflection
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way
Now the flashbulbs may dazzle
While you're figuring out this puzzle
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way
Don't take more than I offer
All my love or I'll make you suffer
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way
Time among all of your enemies
Makes disguises from drastic remedies
From the first splash of detection
To avoiding your own reflection
You shouldn't look at me
You shouldn't look at me that way
You shouldn't look at me that way

Costello, Elvis You Shouldn't Look At Me That Way Comments
Before Van Morrison gets too old or too curmudgeonly there should be a collaboration with EC. I doubt it could happen, Van is set in his ways and seems to think that Jazz is where it's at. It isn't and it never was but you can't tell him that.
I like that a lot! Its a lovely song. I like the piano melody.
Splendida canzone interpretata magnificamente!!!
Am I fine am I fine am I pleasing....❤️❤️❤️
I can’t get enough of this song
muy manon
For the longest time I have awakened in the morning thinking of this song. Saw the movie and, like another commenter, couldn't wait to get home and find it on youtube. Best to You, Elvis, a wonderful talent I just found.
A great shame this film didn't do better, but the bottom line is not many people want to go see films about people dying of cancer.
What surprised me was that you people in 2019, even had a clue who Gloria Grahame was, & that you'd be willing to watch a movie about her.
Magical song...never get tired of it. Love it when he does ballads.
Wonderful song - wonderful movie!
This song is hauntingly beautiful. The movie is also. See it, Treat yourself.
i ve met elvis in athens greece ,,,what a concert back in 2010 .,,,,,one of the true greatest of our times
Fabulous.
Just watched Call Me By Your Name and this film was apart of the previews. When I saw Elvis Costello did the song for it, I knew it was legendary. Was not disappointed.
Wonderful song!
Dried lemons
I may be in the minority but I find him to be a marvelous musician and writer with a really annoying singing voice...he just doesn't have the pipes to perform his more complex material. It seems like it would have been a natural to have his wife, a much more accomplished singer, voice his nine new songs written from the perspective of women...too obvious?
Elvis Costello's voice just gets better with age, like a fine wine.
Reminiscent of his " North" work
this song is a little bit of perfection..thank you sir..
Elvis Costello said, in his auto-biography, that he was tired of doing the same 3-minute trick over and over again. Did this mean Billy Joel- level stubbornness about releasing anything pleasant sounding and reminiscent of his past success? Not sure, but glad he's over it, and sounding good, instead of trendy, on his latest.
Such a beautiful fitting song for a beautiful movie - Annette Bening was divine and Jamie Bell was brilliantly amazing in it!!!
Wow! I accidentally stumbled onto this song and fell in love...,!?
This is so beautiful, as is the movie. Why this was not an Oscar contender is inexplicable. There's a sublime mix of drama and softness in this recording; makes it quite haunting; again like the film. Thank you Elvis Costello for a lifetime of amazing music.
I agree totally. Inexplicable. It was a truly beautiful film. I've watched it several times.
I just love elvis costello. He's so wonderfully gifted with so much talent. He just takes my breath away every time I listen to his songs & believe when I stumble upon a new won Im just smitten. Oh he makes me swoon. One of very few men I ever heard sing & compose music as well as he
very romantic film of love there is no boundaries age of when you love somebody
Buenafuente
Elvis Costello has so much swagger it’s ridiculous
Superb, brought tears to my eyes, can't wait to see him next week in Brooklyn :-)
SAW the movie yesterday and hadn't heard this song until the credits rolled at the end. Couldn't wait to get home and find it on youtube. Would love to hear Tony Bennett sing this.
This is a great song. A little different than the Elvis C that I grew up with. But against the film it was written for, it is superb. And turning to the movie, Annette Bening was just stunning. Probably the best actress never to have won an Oscar (along with Glenn Close). This song totally makes me think of this movie. Well done, Elvis!!!
The film is absolutely brilliant.
Rarely do I immediately love a song the first time I hear it, great decision using it in the movie’s trailer, love this song
Of love between young and old,truly, till death shall we part. Nuff said.
Fantastic! 💖💜💖
"Don't take more than I offer.."
there's a whole story in that line...
Great video. Wonderful melody and vocals. Bravo once again Elvis.
reminds me of Mark Eitzel ...and thats good
is there a soundtrack to the movie?!
Carise Zangerle Murray It is.
Where?!
I don't know anything about the movie, but I love this song. This reminds me of the wonderful album Costello did with Burt Bacharach, which was divine!
I love North, wish there would be a South, East and West !! And I love This Years Model too!!! along with the rest !!
From the 1st blush of affection/ To avoiding your own reflection. Pure Costello.
My, my, my man. swoon
If he gets nominated for the Oscar, he'd get some well-deserved recognition, I bet you.
The subtle poerty that we participate in every day. That rises & undoes us.
I have loved watching his evolution over the last 40 years. Simply Outstanding!
What a wonderful song.
Me too.
Why is this in my recommended bro this is perverted
Tony R embrace the perversion.
Jason Stephenson the perversion is now embraced
We love u Gloria Grahame Queen of the Film- noir ( w/ Marie Windsor.)
Day 2- i' m in love w/ the song. Does' nt jump out at u but grow' s on one.
i think as he became more technically accomplished he lost his creative drive
I will always listen to his new stuff. Nobody writes lyrics like him. But anymore it's like, "Elvis Does Jazz," or, "Elvis Does Appalachia," etc.
Usually one or two good songs per album now.
Trouble is, you know who writes songs like this? Burt Bacharach. So let him do it. Who writes songs and lyrics like Elvis Costello? Only him, no-one is close. I'll still have a quick listen to Elvis Does Balearic House Music when it comes out.
When Elvis was in his prime77-83 nobody could top him. He got taken for granted like Joe Jackson and Graham Parker's first four or five albums that are so powerful that the only place to go is down. I'd love to see him put out one more really strong album. This song is terrific.
Vern Pascal This is a good song. When you don't hear from a musician for awhile and then get popped with a good one it's probably because they've taken a break or been doing something completely different for a bit.
But my feeling is, insert tragedy, extract great art. Artist, musician, writer, it's all the same deal.
Got some great news! Elvis is making a new album...
Magnifique
What a beautiful song, love Elvis Costello. I'm really looking forward to watching the film.
Kevin McMahon That would be lovely!
It's a shame it didn't get an Oscar nomination today.
Many thanks Kevin! I've just sent you an email! All the best, Hx
Kevin McMahon are you both on Twitter?
careful what you say on internet, you might end-up deported by Trump & Associate "North Americans"
Encore une belle chanson... Bientôt l'album?
Return to the Painted Memories
Great tune. Reminds me a lot of the songs he wrote with Bacharach.
