Open up
If you've got anything hidden
I can promise you nothing's forbidden
If you come on round here
Your velvet gloves
Take them off and turn on
Though you say nothing is wrong
Let your hair fall wrong
And why shouldn't you?
Why shouldn't you?
I've tried everything I know
To get through to you
There is something wrong
If I know you
You and your eyes so blue
I should know
When you wear your perfume fatal
And your keys fall off of the table
And you say that's life's been hateful
And the smoke curls round your temple
That it's only incidental
To you and your fateful promise
You should know
When the lines in your heart have been broken
And too many words thought have been spoken
And the world's not spinning it's joking
And if nothing remains there's still hoping
And why shouldn't you?
Why shouldn't you?
I've tried everything I know
To get through to you
And there is something wrong
If I know you
You and your skies so blue"
I'll be here in waiting
Till you've had enough of that engagement
And so-called romantic arrangements
And semi-permanent relationships
And one too many estrangements
And why shouldn't I?
Why shouldn't I?
I've tried everything I know
To get on through to you
There is something wrong
If I know you
You and your disguise so blue
And your skies
And your eyes so blue
If you've got anything hidden
I can promise you nothing's forbidden
If you come on round here
Your velvet gloves
Take them off and turn on
Though you say nothing is wrong
Let your hair fall wrong
And why shouldn't you?
Why shouldn't you?
I've tried everything I know
To get through to you
There is something wrong
If I know you
You and your eyes so blue
I should know
When you wear your perfume fatal
And your keys fall off of the table
And you say that's life's been hateful
And the smoke curls round your temple
That it's only incidental
To you and your fateful promise
You should know
When the lines in your heart have been broken
And too many words thought have been spoken
And the world's not spinning it's joking
And if nothing remains there's still hoping
And why shouldn't you?
Why shouldn't you?
