Lloyd Cole Undressed lyrics

You look so good when you're depressed
Better even in your current state of undress
Tears caressing me like rain
And I'm not even thinking, I feel fine in your pain

The coolest thing I ever saw
You were sitting there smoking my cigarettes
You were naked on the bare stone floor
Looked at me to say don't guess
I was only watching, yes I love you more undressed

Is it really such a sin?
Should I feel some kind of shame?
Will I truly go to hell?

Oh, you never lock the bathroom door
Should I be embarrassed when I've seen a hundred times before
How do married couples cope?
Should I say, "Excuse me darling?", I don't know


We could disconnect the telephone
Just sit around and mess around
And tell your ma we went to Rome, Tennessee
And I'm not even drinking, I feel fine, it's scary

Is it really such a sin?
Should I feel some kind of shame?
Will I truly go to hell?
Oh well

The coolest thing I ever saw
You were sitting there smoking my cigarettes
You were naked on the bare stone floor
You looked at me to say don't guess
I was only watching
Is it bad that I should love you best undressed?
