lyrics

Friday turned Saturday
I've been sitting here thinking
nursing my third lonely drink
Couples bump and bustle by
Mirror ball reflections
pinned me hard against the wall

Just then a perfumed breeze blows by
Turns the head of every guy
and every barstool swivels
the crowd melts like a wave
Oh Lord she's headed my way
quick think of something to say

I hope that maybe
You might glance at me
My eyes say baby
Come take a chance with me
I know that you could be the cure
for another long lonely night

Her eyes meet mine she smiles at me
Oh don't say something foolish
I'm looking down at my shoes
Mumbled greeting fumbled reply
Just a casual encounter
I watch my chance slip by

Is that the touch of her hand
Pulling toward the sound of the band
Sway of hip and skirt hem swishing
Move to the rhythm try to keep the pace
I'm swaying in her sweet embrace
I search the room for her face

I hoped that maybe
You would dance with me
My arms said baby
Come hit the floor with me
I know that you could be the cure
for another long lonely night
I know that you could be the cure
But I never got the nerve

I hoped that maybe
She might glance at me
My heart said baby
Just take a chance with me
Well I guess I should have known
That I'd end up back here again
I guess I should have known
That I'd end up back here again
I guess I should have known
That I'd end up back here again alone
