Elvis Costello Kid About It Lyrics

Kid About It Lyrics

He saw no tears in her eyes
Say you wouldn`t kid about it
She`s telling all of those lies
She swore she`d never told before
But I doubt it

So he bit his tongue
And tried hard to capture his breath
When she said I waited all my life
For just a little death

Say you wouldn`t kid about it
Say you wouldn`t kid about it
Say you wouldn`t kid about it

Sometimes he takes himself so seriously
She makes her movements mysteriously
Slow fast or furiously
It`s a big responsibility
With a face full of mixed ability
Big dreams of elegance
Singing the leaving of Liverpool
And turning into Americans

Say you wouldn`t kid about it
So what if this is a man`s world
I want to be a kid again about it
Give me back my sadness
I couldn`t hide it even if I tried girl

We fight so frail
Making love tooth and nail
You gave me the kiss of my life
I might even live to tell the tale

(chorus)
