The Long Division

Elvis Costello

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





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





How's it gonna 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 gonna smile


That indulgent smile


When you come running home?





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





What am I gonna 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





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





Did somebody say,


"Can we still be friends?"


Did somebody say,


"Can we still be friends?"





Did somebody say,


"Can we still be friends?"


Did somebody say,


"Can we still be friends?"





Did somebody say,


"Can we still be friends?"


Did somebody say,


"Can we still be friends?"
