From the recording Shadows
Lyrics
Diplomatic
You are so diplomatic
You know exactly what to say
When the fireworks want to go off
In the middle of the rain
You are delicate with etiquette
Your soup spoons are in place
When you set the table
It cannot be erased
But do you know what to do
When she falls down and she bruises
Her ego and her knees
When she trips over her feet
You are sensible as a symphony
You keep perfect time
Your flowers are all planted
In a straight line
Your manners are impeccable
You’re all thank you and please
But you’re welcome to change
Some of your ideas about me
But do you know what to do
When she falls down and she bruises
Her ego and her knees
When she trips over her feet
And do you know what to say
At the end of the day
She needs comfort for her blues
Not oh well we all have to lose
