She ran a two o'clock spot
full of smoke and whiskey
She said, "It's risky,
but then it's a life."
He walked in the door
drank a shot of bourbon
kissed her on the lips
and dropped her on the floor.


                 And then he walked out the door
                Never gonna go back there anymore
                Never gonna let on that he was more
               Than she had ever hoped he could be.
               Than she had ever hoped he could be.

Instrumental

They met in the cafe
drinking cups of coffee
She told him off
and he took her by the arm.
He swept her off her feet
told her that he loved her
She said, "Oh really, I knew all along."

And then they walked out the door
Never gonna go back there anymore
Never gonna let on that they were more
Than we had ever hoped they could be.
Than we had ever hoped they could be.
