On How To Be Lovely (Alt. Version) - Fred Astaire

How lovely to be a woman! The wait was well worthwhile, How lovely to wear mascara and smile a woman's smile. How lovely to have a figure that's round instead of flat, Whenever you hear boys whistle, you're what they're whistling at! It's wonderful to feel, the way a woman feels, It gives you such a glow, Just to know, you're wearing lipstick and heals. How lovely to be a woman, and have one job to do: To pick out a boy and train him, And then when you are through, You make him the man you want him to be! Life's lovely when you're a woman... Like me!!

I found a book on how to be invisible Take a pinch of keyhole And fold yourself up You cut along a dotted line You think inside out And you're invisible Eye of Braille Hem of anorak Stem of wallflower Hair of doormat I found a book on how to be invisible On the edge of the labyrinth Under a veil you must never lift Pages that you must never turn In the labyrinth You stand in front of a million doors And each one holds a million more Corridors that lead to the world Of the invisible Corridors that twist and turn Corridors that blister and burn Eye of Braille Hem of anorak Stem of wallflower Hair of doormat Is that the wind from the desert song? Is that the autumn leaf falling? Or is that you walking home? Is that the wind from the desert song? Is that the autumn leaf falling? Or is that you walking home? Is that a storm in the swimming pool? You take a pinch of keyhole And fold yourself up You cut along a dotted line You think inside out You jump 'round three times You jump into the mirror And you're invisible

If you all want to know, I can show you How to be real Just don't hold back applause as I cause you How to be real Don't be afraid to ask questions And don't be afraid to sound dumb You aren't going to learn anything If you can't hear the sound of my drum I know the purple onion is a tough pill to swallow But just let it stretch your throat out It's as soft as marshmallows I know the purple onion is a tough pill to swallow But just let it stretch your throat out You'll be glad that you followed If you think you deserve it to learn it How to be real It's my service to stir up the words of How to be real Without a trick of the trade or tractors to unearth it Got a lifetime to decide if it was worth it Without a trick of the trade or tractors to unearth it Got a lifetime to decide if it was worth it Without a trick of the trade or tractors to unearth it Got a lifetime to decide if it was worth it

I wonder how you are I wonder if you think of me And when I'm all alone I think of how things used to be I'm stuck here writing songs I wonder if they're helping me The moments when you're gone To me, they feel like eternity The way you make me feel make you feel so significant You got me writing, I'm out here searching for synonyms The feelings that I got for you, cannot get rid of them What you gon' say, I'm gon trust it, don't need no evidence When I be feeling so sick, you be like my medicine The way we got our connection, it feels so effortless The way we talking, we always talking so intimate And that's the reason I know our love is innocent I been wondering I been thinking Are you thinking of me? I wonder how you are I wonder if you think of me And when I'm all alone I think of how things used to be I'm stuck here writing songs I wonder if they're helping me The moments when you're gone To me, they feel like eternity Tell me what you need, you know I got it right now I'ma treat you right, yeah I would never treat you wrong Girl, I know you always love to listen to my songs I know what you love, I know exactly what you want You got my love, don't worry girl, yeah you got my love Ain't none that you gon' ever have to worry about I got your trust girl, I would never break it Ever since I laid my eyes on you, I've been taken I been wondering I been thinking Are you thinking of me? I wonder how you are I wonder if you think of me And when I'm all alone I think of how things used to be I'm stuck here writing songs I wonder if they're helping me The moments when you're gone To me, they feel like eternity

Heaven... I'm in heaven, And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak. And I seem to find the happiness I seek, When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek. Heaven... I'm in heaven, And the cares that hung around me through the week, Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak, When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek. Oh, I love to climb a mountain, And to reach the highest peak. But it doesn't thrill me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek. Oh, I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek. But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek. Dance with me! I want my arms about you. The charms about you Will carry me through to... Heaven... I'm in heaven, And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak. And I seem to find the happiness I seek, When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.
