Gerry Rafferty - Make You Break You LYRICS

Many times I've seen you

Each time you always act the same

You've got everything you'll ever need, on that we're all agreed

I really do believe that butter wouldn't melt in your mouth.



You started out saying that you knew me

But I've never known anyone like you

You said we thought the same, so I just played the game

I really didn't mind 'cause I knew that I was winning all the way.



It takes so long to make you, but a whole lot less to break you

'Cause every time you try to act like a lady, you give yourself away

It takes so long to make you, but a whole lot less to break you

'Cause every time I see you look into a mirror, I can tell that's who you really are.



Why don't you take a look around you?

Just try and see the other side

Maybe you'll find it strange, or maybe you'll like the change

At least you would know there were other people living in the world



You can't play the same old game forever

Someone will surely cut you down

So if you're going to stay around, get your feet back on the ground

Find your direction, follow it all the way.



It takes so long to make you, but a whole lot less to break you

'Cause every time you try to act like a lady, you give yourself away

It takes so long to make you, but a whole lot less to break you

'Cause every time I see you look into a mirror, I can tell that's who you really are.



Many times I've seen you

Each time you always act the same

You've got everything you'll ever need, on that we're all agreed

I really do believe that butter wouldn't melt in your mouth.



You've got everything you'll ever need, on that we're all agreed

I really do believe that butter wouldn't melt in your mouth.



It takes so long to make you, but a whole lot less to break you

'Cause every time you try to act like a lady, you give yourself away

It takes so long to make you, but a whole lot less to break you

'Cause every time I see you look into a mirror, I can tell that's who you really are.
