Men Called Uncle |
| Now there’s newsprint all over your face |
| Well maybe that’s why I can read you like a book |
| Just when I thought I was getting my taste to bite |
| I go and lose my appetite |
| Look at the men that you’d call uncle |
| They’d like to sink their teeth into you |
| For the pride and the pleasure |
| And the privilege of having you |
| If I say you’re the one do you think that I’m serious |
| You get that kind of talk from older men |
| If I say I love you then I must be delirious |
| So why are you trying to put my temperature up again |
| Look at the men that you’d call uncle |
| Having a heart attack 'round your ankles |
| When you wake up with X-rated eyes |
| When you wake up still shaking |
| How can I apologize |
| As you check your effects and check your reflection |
| I’m so affected in the face of your affection |
| Look at the men that you’d call uncle |
| Having a heart attack 'round your ankles |
| I could swear, I could promise that I’ll always be true to you |
| But we may not live to be so old |
| I could even say I’m going to do something new to you |
| Now the girls I see just leave me cold |
| Look at the men that you’d call uncle |
| Look at the men that you’d call uncle |
| Look at the men that you’d call uncle |
