Lovable
Elvis Costello · Elvis Costello Limited Edition Collector's Box Set - Amazon.Com E [2007]
It's going round the town
It's going round the town
You're so lovable
My baby gave me notice to quit
I just can't get used to it
She broke my little heart in two
Now somebody else is being the same old you
It's going round the town
It's going round the town
It's going round the town
You're so lovable
My baby gave me notice to quit
I just can't get used to it
She broke my little heart in two
Now somebody else is being the same old you
My baby has Egyptian eyes
And a wicked look beyond compare
If you thought I was a fool for you
Then I must be a bigger fool for her
It's going round the town
It's going round the town
It's going round the town
You're so lovable
My baby gave me notice to quit
I just can't get used to it
She broke my little heart in two
Now somebody else is being the same old you
He'd turn the flowers of springtime into a wreath
He says he'd love you eternally
I say please please can't you keep it brief
They say they're going to bury you
Because you're so lovable
Put your money where your mouth was
You're so lovable
Each tender mumble brings us closer to bedlam
You're so lovable
The toast of the town and the talk of the bedroom
You're so lovable
You're so sweet
You're so honest
You say 'I'll be true to you boy'
But I won't promise
Then you say you love me
Then you show me
As you lie there so lifelike below me
It's going round the town
It's going round the town
It's going round the town
You're so lovable
My baby gave me notice to quit
I just can't get used to it
She broke my little heart in two
Now somebody else is being the same old you
Lovable - Elvis Costello

The track exemplifies Costello's signature blend of sharp lyricism and melodic sophistication, characteristic of his work from the late 1990s through the 2000s. With its driving rhythm and introspective tone, the recording captures a moment of vulnerability within his broader exploration of relationships and social observation. As part of this curated collection, the song reflects his enduring commitment to crafting emotionally resonant pop-rock that balances wit with genuine feeling, maintaining his place as a defining voice in contemporary music history.
