I met her at a party.
I met him at a party.
I met him at a party.
He had the sweetest eyes.
What's your poison he said
YOU thought I
I couldn't stop staring after that.
She was by the bar and I couldn't help but try.
Her hair was down to her waist, I couldn't picture anything else
-Clothes I mean.
She looked at me a certain way...
I wondered if I've met her before...
Her eyes burned through me and I through her.
He said the sweetest verse and I couldn't stop looking at his lips.
I wondered what they would feel like between mine.
But his eyes were different
-like a lion on prowl
and I couldn't help but want to try...
I told her something I heard in an old song...
I remember my mom use to listen to it,
I knew she dreamt of when my father was around
-then she smiled and laughed
but when she looked down and tucked her hair behind her ear
I knew it was just a matter of time till she
Shot he said, sure said I -twice.
I should have known better.
He had the sweetest eyes and the honeyverse to go with it.
I couldn't help but smile, that's when I hoped he was different.
I've never seen eyes like yours he said.
I've never heard a voice like yours I thought.
Don't say anything more I thought.
He was somewhere between Michael Corleone in Godfather two
and a man I once loved.
It's always trouble when I think of him, that's when I hoped he was different.
Till I could convince her to...
Come back to my place and hear a record I think she'd like.
Can a woman fall in love at first sight?
She looked at me a certain way... I wondered if I've seen her before.
I don't drink much I said but I didn't want to sound like such a bore
so I gave it a go -twice. I should have known better.
He asked for my phone number but I gave him more.
He walked me to my car and opened the door for me.
I wondered what his lips would feel like between mine.
Then he asked if I liked records. Vinyl he said, sure said I.
Then we went back to his place. I should have known better.
I should have known better. I couldn't find the record I told her then I turned on
Sam Cooke, I think it was. If he had played something else I would have never
Slept with him? No -well -but he had that look... I would if
-cool like a crocodile he would have, like so many others, slithered in and out of my life, like so many others.
But I wanted nothing more than to jump in the water and let him slither in
Like a man I once saw smoking a cigar in an old film and someone I could never forget...
I couldn't help but think of him and I felt like it was old times when it was Winter and all was white.
I told her if I could see her again but I might have asked too soon.
Then I couldn't help feel that she wanted to leave so I asked her what her plans were for the rest of the evening and she said
Get some rest I said. What was i supposed to say it was 3 o'clock in the morning!
Why did I think he could be, that he was, when he was just the same as...
when he was just the same as... All others who I thought could be and that I would and maybe he could have
-walked me to the front door and looked outside and around before he let me come out.
I should have known better. Did it rain he said. Then he kissed my forehead, smiled, and asked if he could see me again.
I pictured a gas station for some reason then
-She looked at me a certain way... I wondered if I've met her before.
Then it hit me, she dated a friend of mine a while back. Crazy he said with wide eyes. I should have known better than to
-Sleep with her. I know he did. So I, with a steady hand, pulled the revolver from my purse when I seen him kiss her forehead and
-She screamed get away from him, get away from her! I couldn't stop shaking. I looked at him like a child does her father...
He was cool like a crocodile.
He said the sweetest verse and I couldn't stop looking at his lips.
I wondered what they would feel like between mine.
What's your poison she said -blood in her eyes. I didn't know what to say to her, what I could do to make her -she's just a friend I said.
I put my hands up and walked towards her... Slowly I approached her. I couldn't help but try.
Her hair was down to her waist, I couldn't picture anything else -clothes I mean. Her eyes were dead. She couldn't see me.
I've never seen eyes like yours he said. I hoped he was different. I wanted the Winter back where all was white. Can a woman fall in love at first sight?
He looked at me a certain way... I wondered if I've met him before... I'm falling in love with someone whose not falling in love with me he sang and I
-Shot him, she shot, twice! He had the sweetest eyes. Don't say anything more I thought.
I couldn't help but try. My hands, unsteady not obeying. I screamed
When I lit the flame. I felt the coldness of Winter. I saw it run towards them but I wanted it for myself...
Cool like a crocodile he would have, like so many others, slithered in and out of my life, like so many others.
He had the sweetest eyes and honeyverse to go with it... I couldn't help but smile.
I met him at a party.
I met him at a party.
I met her at a party.
[ALL] I should have known better.
