Elvis Costello - 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

Should a glance from you, just shoot through me
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

    Vibrato perfection

  2. V.... O....

    He's the coolest person ever. Just check out his catalog. He's one cool cat daddy-o.

  3. S.... G....

    Thanks for sharing this.
    I wish I could put into words just how profoundly I love and admire this incomparable artist, and how grateful I am for his having enriched my life for 41 years now.

    S.... G....

    Stuart Gardner me to he’s an under rated genius

  5. T.... I....

    No one can look good in purple shirt except Mr. Costello.

  6. T.... L....

    Ouch...my heart. This song makes my heart ache. And I love it.

  7. J.... L....

    Get well soon Elvis .. from a fellow Birkonian 💕

  8. G.... B....

    This man gets better with his music seen him several times and totally love his music especially with lmposters

  9. j.... g....

    cutting to the chase Elvis, please look into BERT GILROY ... Top Flight Referee, Eugene Henderson, in his Book 'Box On', gives an account of a High Society event where Joe Loss and his Orchestra performed, (your Dad too, undoubtedly), anyhow Henderson was a great advocate of the Scots Italian middleweight Bert Gilroy - THEE Most Cheated Athlete in British Sporting History, your Dad, Loss and many others from that period would certainly remember Gilroy... Compose a Song for him Elvis - here are the Actual Reports and Facts, all you need too know about Bert Gilroy - https://www.facebook.com/Bert-Gilroy-1933-1950-503149766487621/

  10. w.... ....

    Saw the movie today and this played at the end as credits rolled.  Great song.

  11. D.... H....

    Aside from not being much of a song, he really needs to lose some weight or wear baggier suits. Not altogether one of his more attractive presentations.

    D.... H....

    And you are beautiful Dan

    D.... H....

    Bitch ass

  12. A.... T....

    I like this song, is so sweet!!

  13. A.... T....

    Beautiful song, and beautiful voice!!!

  14. D.... N....

    Elvis has been my favorite for 35 years. Seen him several times in concert.
    Sorry, Just don't like this song. Still a fan of coarse.

  15. D.... G....

    My Favorite. Love it !
    Thank you .

  16. T.... S....

    His voice sounds marvelous. I hope he never retires!

  17. A.... S....

    I deeply dearly love this man and his music. And I have to say that his voice is done and he should retire. Sorry but there it is.

    A.... S....

    I seriously don't understand why you would say this. Elvis/Declan sounds just as good as always. What am I missing?

    A.... S....

    Has recently had an operation. Listen to his new album. He's still got it.

    A.... S....

    Don't need to listen to Elvis's music whoever think he should retire from singing. He won't retire and will keep playing as long as he is alive. That is the beauty of Elvis Costello.

    A.... S....

    @Andrew Schneider Someone with a brilliant voice could cover this and improve it substantially. It reminds me of 'God Give Me Strength' which he wrote with Bacharach.

    A.... S....

    Fool you are stupid

  18. K.... M....

    Oscar winner? Surely

  19. j.... ....

    Timeless genius !

    j.... ....

    The man doesn't write songs-he writes classics in many genre's.

  20. L.... ....

    This is our Sinatra

    L.... ....

    I love Sinatra, but, he couldn't write a song to save his life.

    L.... ....

    Yes-now Elvis dammit! Get in the studio and make a new album!

    L.... ....

    He must have listened to me...he's making a new album right now as confirmed by the Imposters his back up band.

    L.... ....

    Last thing I wanted to say here-I've heard recently that maybe Elvis is considering doing a download only for his next album. Don't even consider it. It's a stupid fucking idea. I want something tangible in my hands that matters. Paul McCartney had that brilliant brainstorm that pissed almost everybody off for Flowers In The Dirt,when he had the bonus cd of rarities and the band versions of the songs he had written with Elvis, relegated to download for over a $100 bucks. So, I'm sure very few people bought it in comparison to those who for some 50 bucks or so, would have snapped it up immediately on CD.

  21. J.... ....

    This song does wonderful things to my soul

    J.... ....

    Kevin McMahon I have! I've been a fan of everything Costello has done for as long as I can remember. This year for the first time I'm seeing him live and it's a dream come true to be honest.

    J.... ....

    I reply hope you enjoy it. I have seen him, in various of his guises and he never, ever disappoints!

    J.... ....

    Kevin McMahon I'm so jealous! I really can't wait :)

    J.... ....

    Where are you seeing him?

    J.... ....

    Regardless, super enjoy the great man! Best wishes from England!
