So Many Nights

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

'Cause 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

'Cause I found what to do

Put your waistcoat on
