Elvis Costello – Button My Lip Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: The Delivery Man

Don^,t want to talk about the government
Don^,t want to talk about some incident
Don^,t want to talk about some peppermint gum
Don^,t want to talk about the time to come

Button my lip
^,Til I^,m smart enough

Don^,t raise your hand
^,Cos I^,m not offering
It serves you right
Now you are suffering
Give me a chance
To see it though
It all depends on what you hold is true

Button my lip
With your kiss

Don^,t want to hear some little sniveling
You just don^,t get what I^,m delivering
Maybe you want me
[ Button My Lip lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/button-my-lip/ ]
But you know you can^,t
I^,d say, ^,I want you?
But you know I don^,t

Button my lip
^,Til I^,m old enough
^,Til I^,m smart enough
^,Til I^,m?
Button my lip

Don^,t want to come at your beckoning
For any day they^,ll be a reckoning
Don^,t want to hear what is impossible
Baby, you^,ve become invisible

Button my lip

I^,ve seen those clowns vacant and insolent
I stand accused but I am innocent
I am the mighty and magnificent
