The Long Division Songtext - Elvis Costello

The Long Division - Elvis Costello

[Verse 1]
Did somebody try to catch your eye
And almost change your sad expression?
Did somebody's hand linger too long?
Must I now make my confession?
But you'll never know
What suspicion is
Until you lie awake

[Chorus]
And every night you ask yourself
"What am I to do?"
Can it be so hard to calculate?
When three goes into two
There's nothing left over

[Verse 2]
How's it going to feel? This time it's real
It's not a temporary fracture
This is what you get, the stage is set
For you and your attempted rapture
Is he going to smile
That indulgent smile
When you come running home?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
What am I going to say? You turn away
And you leave me here despairing
What am I going to do? I look at you
You seem to be so long past caring
Did somebody say
"Can we still be friends?"
Only to find out now that it's a joke

[Chorus]
So ask yourself
"What am I to do?"
Can it be so hard to calculate?
When three goes into two
There's nothing left over

[Outro]
Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" [x6]
