Lyrics

Well, excuse me, but I think you've got my chair

No, that one's not taken, I don't mind if you sit here
I'll be glad to share
Yeah, it's usually packed here on Friday nights

Oh, if you don't mind, could I talk you out of a light?

Well, thank you, could I drink you a buy?
Oh, listen to me, what I mean is, can I buy you a drink?
Anything you please

Oh, you're welcome, well, I don't think I caught your name
Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?
Well, that makes two of us, glad you came

No, I don't know the name of the band
But they're good, aren't they?
Would you like to dance?

Yeah, I like this song too, it reminds me of you and me, baby
Do you think there's a chance that later on I could drive you home?

No, I don't mind at all
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth
That wasn't my chair after all

Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth

That wasn't my chair after all
