Every eye will go to you.
|
You do not have a doubt.
|
'Cause baby, these appearances
|
Are what it's all about.
|
And if I told you how that looks
|
You'd say I've got a nerve¡¦
|
Just another particle
|
That we can all observe
|
|
As you trot it out.
|
You know how.
|
You trot it out.
|
You know how.
|
|
You had a ball at Edendale.
|
I'll never guess who came!
|
The guy who played the lover in
|
That film without a name.
|
He lavishes praise upon you,
|
And fetched umbrella'd drinks.
|
And when you think he likes you
|
Then you like the way he thinks.
|
|
So you trot it out.
|
You know how.
|
You trot it out, babe.
|
You know how.
|
|
The merits of my argument?
|
Given up for dead.
|
But, humbled by the universe
|
Revolving 'round your head,
|
Suddenly you¡¯re telling me,
|
That, credit where it's due,
|
Every blessing come your way
|
You've been entitled to.
|
|
(Oh, you trot it out babe
|
You know how).
|
|
So captivate my interest with
|
An answer for it all.
|
A destiny's awaiting you¡¦
|
You sort of feel the call.
|
But you can't help me with this bit
|
Of text you memorize.
|
You can make excuses
|
But you don't apologize.
|
|
No, you trot it out.
|
You know how.
|
You trot it out.
|
You know how
|
To trot it out, babe.
|
You know.
|
You know how.
