look me over closely

Marlene Dietrich

Look me over closely
Tell me what you see
The lady likes to look her best
Before she pours the tea
You see a diamond-studded gown
That makes the evening sun go down

Oh, look me over closely
Tell me what you find
But don t be over-anxious
I m not the marrying kind

I m a port in a storm
You ll harbor where it s warm
In my arms you will hide
From the great big world outside

Oh, but when you come and see me
Don t try to change my ways
You ll have a part within my heart
And there you ll always stay

There s room for all
Love for all
But don t blame me
If you fall

So look me over closely
And then make up your mind
But darling, please remember this
I m holding you before we kiss

So look me over closely
Because I may be the marrying kind
