| Gon' stay in, no need to see some cover charge dive tonight
|
| Gonna listen to a record spin
|
| Gonna wake up feelin' right
|
| Then the telephone rings and it’s on with some jeans
|
| A couple friends for a drink or two
|
| Said you weren’t going out tonight
|
| And then you do
|
| You show up late, it’s already loud
|
| Dart boards and dollar beer
|
| Laugh at some jokes and step through the crowd
|
| And she’s shinin' like a souvenir
|
| The perfect shade of hazel eyes
|
| Out of your league, it’s true
|
| Never think you’ll get her to dance and then you do
|
| You hold out, you hang on
|
| You rush in, get it all wrong
|
| Then you break up and go back to
|
| Who you were when lonely’s all you knew
|
| You get numbers, you get names
|
| Get banged up from all love’s games
|
| Swear you’re done falling for someone new
|
| You think you won’t but then you do
|
| You wait a few nights before you call
|
| You’re playin' your cards close
|
| The «hello"turns into a laugh
|
| Six months, the next thing you know
|
| It’s whiskeys with her brother
|
| Making space in a one bedroom
|
| Never thought you’d find forever, and then you do
|
| You hold out, you hang on
|
| You rush in, get it all wrong
|
| Then you break up and go back to
|
| Who you were when lonely’s all you knew
|
| You get numbers, you get names
|
| Get banged up from all love’s games
|
| Swear you’re done falling for someone new
|
| You think you won’t but then you do
|
| Then straight out of the blue
|
| When you least expect her to
|
| She says «Goodbye"and rips your world in two
|
| You hold out, you hang on
|
| You rush in, get it all wrong
|
| Then you break up and go back to
|
| Who you were when lonely’s all you knew
|
| You get numbers, you get names
|
| Get banged up from all love’s games
|
| Swear you’re done falling for someone new
|
| You think you won’t but then you do, mm
|
| Oh yeah, you do
|
| Mm, mm |
