Our Mutual Friend

No matter how I try I just can't get her out of my mind And I when I sleep I visualize her I saw her in the pub I met her later at the nightclub A mutual friend introduced us We talked about the noise And how its hard to hear your own voice Above the beat and the sub-bass We talked and talked for hours We talked in the back of our friend's car As we all went back to his place On our friend's settee She told me that she really liked me And I said, "Cool, the feeling's mutual" We played old 45's And said it's like the soundtrack to our lives And she said, "True, it's not unusual" Then privately we danced We couldn't seem to keep our balance A drunken haze had come upon us We sank down to the floor And we sang a song that I can't sing anymore And then we kissed and fell unconscious I woke up the next day, all alone but for a headache I stumbled out to find the bathroom But all I found was her, wrapped around another lover No longer then is he our mutual friend
