Lip Service – Elvis Costello and The Attractions

You left the motor running.
But I know you’re so attractive.
Getting in some sharp practice.
You better not do anything reckless.

But everybody is going through the motions.
Everybody is going through the motions.
Are you really only going through the motions?

Lip service is all you’ll ever get from me.
Lip service is all you’ll ever get from me.
Lip service is all you’ll ever get from me.
But if you change your mind
you can send it a letter to me

Don’t make any sudden movements.
These are dangerous amusements.
When did you become so choosy?
Don’t act like you’re above me;
just look at your shoes.

[Repeat bridge and chorus]

But if you change your mind
you can send it a letter to me
But if you change your mind
you can send it a letter to me
But if you change your mind
you can send a little letter to me
