Stand Back and Take a Good Look Lyrics by The Nerves

Jack Lee, Paul Collins, Peter Case

0

Stand back and take a good look
Stand back and take a good look
Stand back and take a good look
Maybe baby you look
Like a pearl
On a page in a magazine
Applying some make-up
'til your pretty face is a daily routine
So now baby you act
Just like a cat with a pedigree
One day you'll find out now
...
You gotta tell what
What have you got?
You gotta tell me now!
What makes you think you're so special?
Stand back and take a good look
Stand back and take a good look
Stand back and take a good look
I can't just spend the night
Then you told me
That you wanted me to stay
I never found out why
You decided I should leave in the day
Well baby you know
All pretty postcards far away
Call you on the phone
But I won't have too much to say
But you can tell what
What have you got?
Come on and tell me now!
What makes you think you're so special?
Stand back and take a good look
Stand back and take a good look
Stand back and take a good look
