One Night in the Bar (7/31/96)

I walked into the bar
Sat down by myself
Started playing
Scan The Bar.

Saw a couple of cuties...
Started walking their way
The icicle stares froze me
Down to the balls.

Saw another babe,
Hangin' all over this guy
Who could bring down
Godzilla with his right hook.

Then I saw her
Looking bored
With another guy,
Eyeing me on.

Started to walk toward her,
She turns to her man,
Drew his attention with a whisper
And beckoned to me under the table.

Our eyes electrified the room,
And he was a wimp,
Boring and cold,
But she was with him.

Once I thought was in love with a woman,
Who was so tired of me,
She flirted with another man
While I sat beside her...
And I was so tired of her,
I didn't care.

"I can't do it", I said to myself,
"And even if she does want me,
If she cheats WITH me,
She'll cheat ON me,
And I'll cheat right back.
Don't want none of that noise."

I walked right by their table,
Gave her the eye,
Said sorry with a shrug,
And kept walking
Out the door.

I don't want to be so desperate
To have to guess,
Every day and every night,
If I'm really in love.
