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 could 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
