Little Savage Lyrics - Elvis Costello

I would have waited all my life 

Just to make love out of something other than spite 

But the beauty is the beast you're baiting 

Should really be worth the waiting 

You do something very special to 

Mr. average 

Now the lamb lies with the lion 

He's just a little savage 

And so you turn your back on me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And all the hot air that only echoes stale tobacco 

Photos 

Actions speak louder now than words 

By just a fraction 

What's the use of saying I love you whe I'm drinking to distraction 

We save our sanity 

By saying such and such 

After all it's been discussed 

You say you must be touched 

(chorus)
