so many nights

The Cat Empire

It doesnââ?¬â?¢t matter what I say it doesnââ?¬â?¢t matter what I do
It seems Iââ?¬â?¢m going to have to change my look for you cos
Iââ?¬â?¢ve got two shoes but theyââ?¬â?¢ve been walked too far
And I think that we could float from evening to the stars

When I see you in the distance with your friends
I look around and then I look down at my threads
Itââ?¬â?¢s inappropriate that I should present like a
Retired matador with unpaid rent

So many nights Iââ?¬â?¢m still thinking about you
And so many nights you step in and I walk through
So he doesnââ?¬â?¢t care except he still combs his hair
So what am I supposed to do?

I bought a suit and I bought a top hat
And I put a red stripe down the side of my slacks
Went to the barber got my hair cut high
And I bought a ticket for the opera tonight

But when and I see you your bodice and your pride
Itââ?¬â?¢s nice to greet you with an interrupted stride, besides
You say ââ?¬Ë?Good eveningââ?¬â?¢ you donââ?¬â?¢t say ââ?¬Ë?Goodnightââ?¬â?¢
And I canââ?¬â?¢t deny that

So many nights Iââ?¬â?¢m still thinking about you
And so many nights until I changed my suit
And when Iââ?¬â?¢m bare donââ?¬â?¢t need to comb my hair
Cos I found what to do

Put your waistcoat on
So many nights ââ?¬¦
So many nights ââ?¬¦
Put your waistcoat on
