You walked into the room and the whole place stopped to notice

Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this

C#m Aa7

I?ve never been ashamed of my attraction

I?d be happy if you gave me just a fraction

As we danced, I could see in your eyes

You and me as senior citizens in love

Followed your perfume out away from all the rabble

Right up to your room for a drink and travel scrabble

C#m Aa7

You, stationed in the warm glow of the T.V.

Too patient as I?m playing L O V E

And we laugh ? and we laugh ? and we laugh

And we have to or we?ll end up in the bath

Now we?re in the bath, I?m already thinking marriage

I know that in the past it was something I?d disparage

C#m Aa7

You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles

We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals

Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left

And I guess I?ll see you Monday like before

Before all the fireworks exploded

Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying

Now what can we say? Have a nice day

Looks like rain today?

What you say doesn?t matter anyway

Now I?m in the cab, heading back to my apartment

Everything is drab, and I wish it never started

C#m Aa7

Now I?ve landed in this awkward situation

How can I just avoid this conversation?

So I wait, come in late. It?d be great

If you transferred out of state
