Mistook Me for a Friend Elvis Costello & The Imposters

[Verse 1]
You took me in the stairwell light
Mistook me for a friend
A sign said, "Follow me into the night"
Mistook me for a friend
Mistook me for a friend
Mistook me for a friend

[Pre-Chorus]
I had a pocket full of presidents, a suitcase full of elements
The double-cross of spectacles, the mogul for mechanicals
Rainy streets were gleaming, maybe I was dreaming
She thought that she heard wedding bells, a hundred thousand decibels

[Chorus]
That crush and her confectioner said (Yеah, yeah, yeah)
Mistook you for a friend
Shе took my temperature (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mistook me for a friend
Mistook me for a friend

[Verse 2]
You took your clothes off after you sent him away
Why now, baby, would you ask for me to stay?
I knew it wasn't right, if I could just pretend
Mistook you for a friend
