Intro

Amaj7, Emaj7 (x2)

Verse 1

You walked into the room
And the whole place stopped to notice
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
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 

Verse 2

I followed your perfume
out away from all the rabble
Right up to your room, for a drink and travel Scrabble
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

Verse 3

Now we're in the bath,
I'm already thinking marriage
I know that in the past, it was something I'd disparage
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

Bridge

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'd you say?
Doesn't matter anyway 

Verse 4

Now I'm in a cab,
heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
Now I've landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation?
So I wait, come in late. It'd be great
If you transferred out of state
