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 staying at his cousin’s overnight
   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 become quite a connoisseur of wine
   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 like the Tom I knew before
   Something so touching it made me cry
   But my heart was racing, I don’t know why
   Those new blue suede shoes, that’s not like him
   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
