Texty: Elvis Costello. King of America. Lovable.

It's going 'round the town
It's going 'round the town
It's going 'round the town
You're so lovable

My baby gave me notice to quit
I just can't get used to it
She broke my little heart in two
Now somebody else is being the same old you

It's going 'round the town
It's going 'round the town
It's going 'round the town
You're so lovable

My baby has Egyptian eyes
And a wicked look beyond compare
If you thought I was a fool for you
Then I must be a bigger fool for her

It's going 'round the town
It's going 'round the town
It's going 'round the town
You're so lovable

He'd turn the flowers of springtime into a wreath
He says, he'd love you eternally
I say, please, please can't you keep it brief

They say, they're going to bury you
Because you're so lovable
Put your money where your mouth was
You're so lovable

Each tender mumble brings us closer to bedlam
You're so lovable
The toast of the town and the talk of the bedroom
You're so lovable

You're so sweet, you're so honest
You say, ?I'll be true to you boy?
But I won't promise
Then you say you love me
Then you show me
As you lie there so lifelike below me

It's going 'round the town
It's going 'round the town
It's going 'round the town
You're so lovable
