That look you gave that guy Songtext
von EELS

eels - 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 lookin′ proud
that look you give that guy
i wanna see

lookin' right at me
if i could be that guy
instead of me
i′d never let you down

it always seems like you're goin' somewhere
better than you been before
well, i go to sleep, and i dream all night
of you knockin′ on my door
that look you give that guy


i wanna see
lookin′ right at me
if i could be that guy
instead of me

i'd be all i can be
i′d be all i can be
i'm nothin′ like what i'd like to be
i′m nothin' 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


lookin′ 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 if, let's say, it won′t work out
you know where i can be found
that look you give that guy
i wanna see
lookin' right at me
if i could be that guy
instead of me
i′d never let you down
i'd never let you down
