Then You Do

Gon' stay in, no need to see some cover charge dive tonight

Gonna listen to a record spin

Gonna wake up feelin' right

Then the telephone rings and it's on with some jeans

A couple friends for a drink or two

Said you weren't going out tonight

And then you do

You show up late, it's already loud

Dart boards and dollar beer

Laugh at some jokes and step through the crowd

And she's shinin' like a souvenir

The perfect shade of hazel eyes

Out of your league, it's true

Never think you'll get her to dance and then you do

You hold out, you hang on

You rush in, get it all wrong

Then you break up and go back to

Who you were when lonely's all you knew

You get numbers, you get names

Get banged up from all love's games

Swear you're done falling for someone new

You think you won't but then you do

You wait a few nights before you call

You're playin' your cards close

The "hello" turns into a laugh

Six months, the next thing you know

It's whiskeys with her brother

Making space in a one bedroom

Never thought you'd find forever, and then you do

You hold out, you hang on

You rush in, get it all wrong

Then you break up and go back to

Who you were when lonely's all you knew

You get numbers, you get names

Get banged up from all love's games

Swear you're done falling for someone new

You think you won't but then you do

Then straight out of the blue

When you least expect her to

She says "Goodbye" and rips your world in two

You hold out, you hang on

You rush in, get it all wrong

Then you break up and go back to

Who you were when lonely's all you knew

You get numbers, you get names

Get banged up from all love's games

Swear you're done falling for someone new

You think you won't but then you do, mm

Oh yeah, you do

Mm, mm
