Audra Mae - I Looked Away Lyrics

Lyrics I Looked Away - Elvis Costello




I had my eyes open when he walked in
That kind of fellow is hard to follow
That kind of love is so hard to believe
Along with the pleasure, the need to deceive
I wanted to stay, though I knew I should leave
Small indiscretions that I learned to swallow
That kind of man is so hard to follow
And see it all torn down
I wanted to run, but I learned how to stay
So I looked away
And I hid my feelings if he could deceive
And my eyes might still betray
All I'm concealing
So I looked away
I tolerated his wandering gaze
I learned not to wonder if his arm lingered
Too long around the waist of a friend
She lent herself to him and threw her head back
I dreamed of her calling out, "Baby, please stay"
So I looked away
And I hid my feelings if he could deceive
And my eyes might still betray
All I'm concealing
So I looked away
