Barenaked Ladies - Conventioneers lyrics
[Barenaked Ladies - Conventioneers lyrics]
You walked into the room and the
Whole place stopped to notice
Standing next to you
I feel hopeless and you know this
I've never been ashamed of my attraction
I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction
As we danced, I could see in your eyes
You and me as senior citizens in love
I followed your perfume out away
From all the rabble
Right up to your room for
A drink and travel Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the TV
Too patient as I'm playing L¹O¹V⁴E¹
And we laugh, and we laugh, and we laugh
And we have to or we'll end up in the bath
Now we're in the bath
I'm already thinking marriage
I know that in the past
It was something I'd disparage
You turned down all the lights
I lit the candles
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
And I guess I'll see you Monday like before
Before all the fireworks exploded
Our conversations were so loaded
Innuendo flying now what can we say?
"Have a nice day" "Looks like rain today"
"What'd you say?" "Doesn't matter anyway"
Now I'm in a cab
Heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab and I
Wish it never started
Now I've landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation?
So I wait, come in late, it'd be great
If you transferred out of state
Whole place stopped to notice
Standing next to you
I feel hopeless and you know this
I've never been ashamed of my attraction
I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction
As we danced, I could see in your eyes
You and me as senior citizens in love
I followed your perfume out away
From all the rabble
Right up to your room for
A drink and travel Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the TV
Too patient as I'm playing L¹O¹V⁴E¹
And we laugh, and we laugh, and we laugh
And we have to or we'll end up in the bath
Now we're in the bath
I'm already thinking marriage
I know that in the past
It was something I'd disparage
You turned down all the lights
I lit the candles
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
And I guess I'll see you Monday like before
Before all the fireworks exploded
Our conversations were so loaded
Innuendo flying now what can we say?
"Have a nice day" "Looks like rain today"
"What'd you say?" "Doesn't matter anyway"
Now I'm in a cab
Heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab and I
Wish it never started
Now I've landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation?
So I wait, come in late, it'd be great
If you transferred out of state
