Elvis Costello The Long Division Lyrics

The Long Division Lyrics

Did somebody try to catch your eye 
And almost change your sad expression? 
Did somebody`s hand linger too long? 
Must I now make my confession? 
But you`ll never know 
What suspicion is 
Until you lie awake 

And every night you ask yourself 
"What am I to do?" 
Can it be so hard to calculate? 
When three goes into two 
There`s nothing left over 

How`s it gonna feel? This time it`s real 
It`s not a temporary fracture 
This is what you get, the stage is set 
For you and your attempted rapture 

Is he gonna smile 
That indulgent smile 
When you come running home? 

And every night you ask yourself, 
"What am I to do?" 
Can it be so hard to calculate? 
When three goes into two 
There`s nothing left over 

What am I gonna say? You turn away 
And you leave me here despairing 
What am I going to do? I look at you 
You seem to be so long past caring 

Did somebody say, 
"Can we still be friends?" 
Only to find out now that it`s a joke 

So ask yourself, 
"What am I to do?" 
Can it be so hard to calculate? 
When three goes into two 
There`s nothing left over 

Did somebody say, 
"Can we still be friends?" 
Did somebody say, 
"Can we still be friends?" 

Did somebody say, 
"Can we still be friends?" 
Did somebody say, 
"Can we still be friends?" 

Did somebody say, 
"Can we still be friends?" 
Did somebody say, 
"Can we still be friends?"
