When Tom came home his hair was combed   He bought snakeskin boots in Rome   That's not like him      His socks are clean, his shirt is pressed   It isn't just the way he's dressed   He smiles out of context and acts so polite   He's stayed at his cousin's overnightstaying changed to stayed      The protein shakes, that's not like him   The carrot cakes, that's not like him   The oatbran flakes, that's not like him   And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night   Oh, that's not like him      He whispers on the telephone   He goes out smelling of cologne   That's not like him      It's just a superficial thing   But he's misplaced his wedding ring   He's becoming a connoisseur of winechanged become to becoming. Deleted "quite"   He's quoting Yeats and Gertrude Stein      The Soho pub, that's not like him   The racquet club, that's not like him   Those books on love, that's not like him   And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night   Oh, that's not like him      I caught a glimpse of Tom today   At a checkout counter, about to pay   He had a girl on his arm   I'm glad he's helping out the poor   It's not the Tom I knew beforedeleted "like"   Something so touching it made me cry   But my heart was racing, I don't know why      Those new blue suedes, that's not like himchanged suede to suedes; deleted "shoes"   The Ray Ban shades, that's not like him   Those downtown ways, that's not like him   And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night   Oh, that's not like him      The red suspenders, that's not like him   The berries in the blender, that's not like him   Those twelve step groups, that's not like him   And Guadeloupe, that's not like him   Those books on Zen, that's not like him   The Karate classes, that's not like him   The fishing gear, that's not like him   Not like him   That's not like him
