I was lost in all your beauty Couldn’t really hear what you had to say My head was spinning And I was well on my way You’d just landed from a land far away My head was spinning I was well on my way Verse 2 She was — oh yes, she was — A blonde-haired beauty With her hair tied up tight What jeans she was wearing… My mind might not get it right Yeah, I just can’t get it right Pre-Chorus We’d only started talking And I was six dates in my mind Met your ma and pa already Heard about your sister Living way out in Arkansas I made little hints, looked deep in your eyes Was my hand on your arm… or could it have been your thigh? Ooh… it could’ve been your thigh Chorus And I was — oh yes I was — I was on my way Talked for what felt like hours Think I promised flowers I was on my way… So probably a whole bouquet Verse 3 Stars shone so bright It was the perfect night Baby looked divine I finally felt free Wanted every moment Just to be her and me Said “let me walk you home” And as we made our way That’s when I stumbled… I really had a fall that day Bridge Now I’m waking up alone No number on my phone Just cuts on my arms And bruises on my bones And I’m regretting Every chat-up line I used I showered and I scrubbed Brushed my teeth to the bone But the taste of sambuca Won’t leave me alone Outro Bitter taste — That’s the only taste Still sitting on my lips Could’ve had you… But through my fingers you slipped Yeah… you slipped away
