I can tell you’re coming over
I’ve seen that look before
can tell my date has stood me up
you think you're going to score?
here you are on your approach
my defenses are ready to go
come on over, take your best shot
let’s see what you have to show
“is this seat taken?” you ask
you're already sitting down
except for mine they're all empty
you only have to look around
I shrug my shoulders, move my bag
to the seat on the other side
you’re moving your chair closer
and Romeo, it's now go time
let’s see what you have got there
what you have up your sleeve
I’m not staying here much longer
I'm already set to leave
but you're a little bit different
you start talking about your day
not being at all flirtatious
not making me feel like prey
you tell me some amazing stories
both funny and sincere
I’m dropping my defenses
and starting to like it here
I may have been wrong about you
and where I thought this was leading
there is no such innuendo
you just talk to me with feeling
the night goes on quite smoothly
you seem genuine and real
it’s a long time since I’ve talked like this
you’ve got a lot of appeal
you say “if it’s not too forward,
I’d like to give you a call”
“I’ve enjoyed meeting you immensely
you’ve kept me quite enthralled.”
so I give you a number
from the cleaners down the street
thank you for a lovely evening
and hasten my retreat
