Elvis Costello - That's Not The Part Of Him Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I have a friend
  • She's just a friend
  • I tried to comfort and defend
  • I gave her what you might call advice
  • But nothing like that comes without a price
  • The rumour was a cruel surprise
  • And she dissolved before my eyes
  • I offered my hand and hers and mine entwined
  • I thought about back then when I wished that she had been mine
  • There's no use in shedding any tears
  • He's no good to you the way he is
  • He's beyond forgiving and believing
  • Half of his heart is torn like paper
  • It's sweet as the syrup from the maple
  • But that's not the part of him you're leaving
  • In time they're bound to wonder why
  • It's just a thrill you can't deny
  • I offered my shoulder right away
  • Now people will talk about what I can't say
  • And yet the whispers still persist
  • They're getting harder to resist
  • How am I supposed to stop loving you now I've begun?
  • And I'm sorry for what I might do more than what I have done
  • There's no use in shedding any tears
  • He's no good to you the way he is
  • He's beyond forgiving and believing
  • Half of his heart is filled with pain
  • That's sweet as a lick of sugarcane
  • But that's not the part of him you're leaving
  • Love is a many splintered thing
  • That only cuts roses and ribbons that cling
  • But that's not the part of him you're leaving
