lyrics

You can suit yourself
If you'd rather you should go
If you'd rather be alone
But when you're on the telephone
I think you're making plans
With some guy you know
Tell your little lies and lay me low

If you see me crying
That's just the trappings and the suits of woe
There's that within that passes show
You say we could be friends
But that's not the same as family
Girl you suit yourself

What about your heart?
Has it never told a lie?
Will it guide you by and by
When the twilight hits the sky?
If you listen hard you might hear me there
Whispering to you how much I care

Do you see these tears?
Just the trappings and the suits of woe
There's that within that passes show
You say we could be friends
It's not the same as family
But girl you suit yourself
