Lyrics So Many Nights - The Cat Empire

It doesn′t matter what I say
It doesn't matter what I do
It seems I′m going to have to change my look for you cos
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 then 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 about you
And so many nights you step in and I walk through
So he doesn't care except he still combs his hair
So what am I supposed to do?
I bought a suit and I bought a top hat
And 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 and 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 about you
And so many nights until I changed my suit
And when I′m bare don't need to comb my hair
Cos I found what to do
Put your waistcoat on
So many nights I′m still thinking about you
And so many nights you step in and I walk through
So he doesn't care except he still combs his hair
So what am I supposed to do?
So many nights I′m still thinking about you
And so many nights until I changed my suit
And when I'm bare don′t need to comb my hair
Cos I found what to do
Put your waistcoat on
