You've Let Yourself Go - Liza Minnelli

So we're alone again tonight

I read a book you watch the fight

A stifled yawn a can of beer

What an enthralling atmosphere

And yet the sight of us this way

Helps me to say what I must say

It helps me to think a thought or two

To pass it right along to you

And just for starters you should know I think

You've let yourself go

Down through the years each sage repeats

Grass never grows on busy streets

Which might explain that balding spot

Were you a thinker which you're not

And where's that slender youth I knew

I fear he's grown an inch or two

Not up and down my joy and pride

But more precisely side to side

When at a party now and then

You tell the same old jokes again

Or wear a lampshade for a hat

Who could be wittier than that

With one too many you just might

Pick some unnecessary fight

Though in the morning with the sun

You can't remember what you've done

If there's regret it doesn't show

You know you've let yourself go

You never care the way you dress

You stay unshaven you look a mess

The smallest thing is too much to do

I even hold the door for you

And every rose upon the shelf

Is one that I've supplied myself

It's not the same I'm well aware

Yet I need to see them there

I don't know why I say it now

Why I don't hold my tongue somehow

But I've this need to tell it all

No matter where the chips may fall

For as I sit and reminisce

There are so many things I miss

The reassurance of your touch

The gentle smile that said so much

You were my tender thoughtful beau

I couldn't hate you if I tried

And I still want you by my side

We'll lay things on the line

Perhaps the fault is really mine

And if it is please tell me so

A seed we planted still can't grow

Maybe that's all we need to know

Come close to me and

Let yourself go
