Cathy Dennis - The Date lyrics

A-a-a-h aaaah ah ah ah
A-a-a-h aaaah aah aah aah

A-a-a-h aaaah ah ah ah
A-a-a-h aaaah aah aah aah aah

I spent a good three hours a day
Crawling around on my knees
Just to be the perfect reflection for you
Well I hope I satisfy your needs

I learned the quotes of Oscar Wilde
I memorised most of them
So you can be assured I won't let you down
When you take me out to meet your friends

Bend me shape me
But take care you just might break me
One step forward and two steps back
I stare at the mirror and
The mirror stares back
It's saying just be yourself and
Act how you feel
It really isn't such a big deal
It's only a date

Smudges in my make-up slip slide in my shoes
Tryin' to keep my dignity intact
I ask "Please may I be excused"

I bought a gown from Calvin Klein
And shoes from Christian Lacroix
I'd do anything not to show you up
But I hope I haven't gone too far

Bruise me use me
But take care you just might lose me
One step forward and two steps back
I stare at the mirror and
The mirror stares back
It's saying just look at you
All flushed and confused
You shouldn't get in such a state
It's only a date

A-a-a-h aaaah ah ah ah
A-a-a-h aaaah aah aah aah

And then a voice cried out from the mirror
As I was standing next to the bar
Are you absolutely sure you
Wanna look that way?
An accesory to match with his car

Bruise me use me (Use me like you do)
But take care you just might lose me
Bend me shake me
But take care you just don't break me

One step forward and two steps back
I stare at the mirror and
The mirror stares back
It's saying just look at you
All flushed and confused
Excuse me if I seem amused

One step forward and two steps back
I stare at the mirror and
The mirror stares back
It's saying just look at you
All flushed and confused
You shouldn't get in such a state
It's only a date
