《That’s Not The Part Of Him You’re Leaving》歌词

[00:00:00] That's Not The Part Of Him You're Leaving - Elvis Costello

[00:00:00] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:13] I have a friend

[00:00:16] She's just a friend

[00:00:19] I tried to comfort and defend

[00:00:25] I gave her what you might call advice

[00:00:31] But nothing like that comes without a price

[00:00:37] The rumour was a cruel surprise

[00:00:44] And she dissolved before my eyes

[00:00:50] I offered my hand and hers and mine entwined

[00:00:56] I thought about back then when I wished that she could be mine

[00:01:02] There's no use in shedding any tears

[00:01:09] He's no good to you the way he is

[00:01:16] He's gone beyond forgiving and believing

[00:01:28] Half of his heart is torn like paper

[00:01:34] It's sweet as the syrup from the maple

[00:01:42] But that's not the part of him you're leaving

[00:02:06] In time they're bound to wonder why

[00:02:12] It's just a thrill you can't deny

[00:02:18] I offered my shoulder right away

[00:02:24] Now people will talk about what I can't say

[00:02:31] And yet the whispers still persist

[00:02:37] They're getting harder to resist

[00:02:44] How am I supposed to stop loving you now I've begun

[00:02:50] And sorry for what I might do more than what I have done

[00:02:56] There's no use in shedding any tears

[00:03:02] He's no good to you the way he is

[00:03:10] He's gone beyond forgiving and believing

[00:03:22] Half of his heart is filled with pain

[00:03:28] That's sweet as a lick of sugarcane

[00:03:36] But that's not the part of him you're leaving

[00:03:48] Love is a many splintered thing

[00:03:53] That only cuts roses and ribbons that cling

[00:04:01] But that's not the part of him you're leaving
