| 作曲 : Costello | |
| It's started to come to me | |
| Your new career would probably end like this | |
| All that professional lipstick pressed into an amateur kiss | |
| Farewell to the studied lines and carefully broken hearts | |
| The overpowering perfume and the glimpse of her garter | |
| Mingling with the sweet smoldering scent of the martyr | |
| Well it's starting to come to me (come to me, come to me) | |
| Starting to come to me | |
| So you began to recognize the well-dressed man that everybody loves | |
| It started when you chopped off all the fingers of those pony skin gloves | |
| Then you cut a hole out where the lovelight used to shine | |
| Your tears of pleasure equal measure crocodile and brine | |
| You try to laugh it off saying "I knew all the time... | |
| But it's starting to come to me" (come to me, come to me) | |
| Starting to come to me | |
| Sometimes you bring me down to play reluctant confidant | |
| You say you may reward him if he gives you what you want | |
| But these are days to treasure and to hold | |
| They are much too precious to be sold | |
| You'd probably play the pirate if you weren't so busy digging up the gold | |
| Now you could tell he wanted you 'cause you almost taste it on his breath | |
| But you always cheated life just like the bold dare-devil cheated death | |
| Incidentally, late last night your understudy finally got what you deserve | |
| In private she's seductive but in public she's prim, porcelain and nervous | |
| Afraid someone will recognize the shame in her eyes | |
| You've still got your dignity or the next best disguise | |
| You never know when to say no and when to compromise | |
| But it's starting to come to me (come to me, come to me) | |
| Starting to come to me (come to me, come to me) | |
| Starting to come to me |
