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

Cos 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

Cos I found what to do



Put your waistcoat on...
