Oh Look at Me Lyrics

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at you now!

I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
Never knew much
Oh, look you now!

You're a new man better than Casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest

So you're the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
But, look at you now!

[He's not the guy who cared about love
And he's not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
Cared about much
But, look at him now!]

I'm a lover
[He never knew the technique of kissing
He never knew the thrill he could get from her touch
Never knew much
But, look him now]

Man I've really come on
He's a new man better than [casanova at his best]
With a new start brand new heart
[He's so proud he's bustin' his vest]

[So he's the guy who turned out a lover
So he's the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things]
But, look at me now

[He's a new man better than casanova at his best
He's got some new jive and it's really fine]
Well I'm so proud I'm bustin my vest
[He's a lover
Yes we know he's a lover yes]
I laughed at those blue diamond rings
Just one of those things
[But look at him now]

Jack I'm ready
[Look at him now]
