Single bars and single women with a single thought in mind
Just to make it till the morning looking for what they can find
For a man they won't remember for a night they can't forget
Do you come to this place often may I light your cigarette
Drinkng beer and amaretto passing time and swapping jokes
Hoping for a new beginning but the beginning to lose hope
And you're waiting for that moment when a glance becomes a stare
Umm what's that perfume you're wearin' haven't I met you somewhere
Find a matchbox in the morning with a name and number scrawled
When you phone a woman answers and you wish you'd never called
They're friendly when they met you but they're strangers when they go
Do you mind if I come join ya would you like to dance one more
[ sax ]
And it's gettin' near to closing and the seconds pass like years
Lots of friends to share the lughter not a one to share the tears
And you wish they'd change that jukebox you know every song it plays
Can I drop you off at my place ah what's the matter are you gay
You've got a twenty in your pocket got your toothbrush in your purse
Life could get a whole lot better but it better not get worse
