He came to dinner at my place last night The food, the wine, the mood was all to perfection He said, my love, you'd look a dream in white I thought, at last he's walking in my direction And then today when I gave him a call At first he didn't seem to get my meaning at all And then he said We'll talk about it later Now you see him, now you don't Always changing places And I tell myself I should let go Now you see him, now you don't Man of many faces I say yes and yet I guess I should say no I ask him when I'll get to meet his folks He always seems to find some weak explanation My questions far to often met by jokes A change of subject to avoid confrontation And if it rings while I am in his flat When I get up to answer he says, let me take that Who was it, dear Oh, just an old acquaintance Now you see him, now you don't Always changing places And I tell myself I should let go Now you see him, now you don't Man of many faces I say yes and yet I guess I should say no Now you see him, now you don't Never leaving traces Maybe he's too quick and I'm too slow Now you see him, now you don't Only empty spaces Never knowing where he's gonna show Now you see him, now you don't Man of many faces I say yes and yet I guess I should say no
