look me over closely tell me what you see the lady likes to look her best before she pours the tea you see a diamond-studded gown that makes the evening sun go down oh look me over closely tell me what you find but don't be over anxious because I'm not the marryin' kind I'm a port in a storm you will harbor where it's warm in my arms you will hide from the great big world outside oh but oh when you come and see me don't try to change my ways now you have a part within my heart and there you'll always stay there's room for all not for all but don't blame me if you fall so look me over closely
