elvis costello - let me tell you about her lyrics

i wasn't very indiscreet and yet
that is a notion that i might as well forget
friends look at me these days with fond surprise
but when i start to speak they roll their eyes

let me tell you about her
hush now, i've said too much
there's something indescribable i can't quite catch
let me tell you about her
the way that she makes me feel
then draw a curtain on this scene i shan't reveal

some things are too personal
too intimate to spill
and gentlemen don't speak of them
and this one never will

i wasn't very conversational
accept to say that, "you're sensational"
friends now regard me with indulgent smiles
but when i start to sing they run for miles

let me tell you about her
hush now, i've said too much
there's something indescribable i can't quite catch
let me tell you about her
the way that she makes me feel
then draw a curtain on this scene i shan't reveal
