It was a Dirty Hotel in the middle of a hot spell
and she couldn't have looked much cleaner.
I would have tried if I thought she'd comply
you really should have seen her.
Disadvantaged, somehow I managed to produce my gentleman's smile
but she turned around and said,
  "Hey boy, slow down,
  I think I'm gonna stay for a while."

So, I pulled up a chair, tried not to stare
until I found out which game we were playing.
I realized she saw through my lies
so I looked like I knew what I was saying.
Really cool I was nobody's fool
and I thought I was doing the playing.
'Till I threw the pass and she started to laugh
I knew it wasn't worth staying.

 Ah, don't we make it look easy.
 Its not much, but it helps pass the time.
 And you say its driving me crazy.
 I know how hard it is to be decent and kind,
 Decent and kind.
