Look My Over Closely - Marlene Dietrich

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
