Is it really worth it? Something given for free
If it leaves you so downhearted, so downhearted
If you've an opinion
You can answer yes but it's no for me

Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me
And then shake itself free
And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend?
Why won't it stay? Where does it go anyway?

Have you seen the papers? There's a wonder kid and he's only two (only two)
He's playing Beethoven on his violin
There's something I don't need tickets to
Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me
And then shake itself free
And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend?
Why won't it stay? Where does it go anyway?

Now I find out the hard way that it's going back to stay, back to stay
And I'm lost and I'm lonely cause my baby won't come back to play
Come back to me little lady please come back to little old me

I'm a tourist even in my own skin

Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me
And then shake itself free
And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend?
Why won't it stay? Where does it go anyway?

Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me
And then shake itself free
And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend?
Why won't it stay? Where does it go anyway?
