EELS LYRICS - That Look You Give That Guy

"That Look You Give That Guy"



I never thought that I could be so bold

To even say these thoughts aloud

I see you with your man

Your eyes just shine

While he stands tall

And walking proud



That look you give that guy

I wanna see

Looking right at me

If I could be that guy

Instead of me

I'd never let you down



It always seems like you're going somewhere

Better than you've been before

While I go to sleep and I dream all night

Of you knocking at my door



That look you give that guy

I wanna see

Looking right at me

If I could be that guy

Instead of me

I'd be all I can be



I'm nothing like what I'd like to be

I'm nothing much I know it's true

I lack the style and the pedigree

And my chances are so few



That look you give that guy

I wanna see

Looking right at me

If I could be that guy

Instead of me

I'd give you all I got



I never thought that I could be so bold

To even say these thoughts aloud

But it, let's say, it won't work out

You know where I can be found



That look you give that guy

I wanna see

Looking right at me

If I could be that guy

Instead of me

I'd never let you down
