Man Called Uncle

Track B7
 
[Verse 1] Now those news print's 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 a bite I go and lose my appetite [Chorus] Look at the man that you'd call uncle They'd like to sink their teeth in to you For the pride and the pleasure And the privilege of having you [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Look at the man that you'd call uncle Having a heart-attack 'round your ankles [Bridge] When you wake up with x-rated eyes When you wake up still shaking How could I apologize as your check you affects And you check your reflection I'm so affected in the face of your affection [Chorus] Look at the man that you'd call uncle Having a heart-attack 'round your ankles [Outro/Chorus] 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 man that you'd call uncle Look at the man that you'd call uncle Look at the man that you'd call uncle
