Single Women

(Michael O'Donoghue)



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?



Drinkin' beer in Amarillo passing time and swaping jokes

Hoping for a new beginning but beginning to lose hope

And you're waiting for that moment when a glance becomes a stare

Mmm, what's that perfume that you're wearingm haven't I met you somewhere?



Find a matchbook in the morning with a name and number scrawled

When you phone, a woman answers and you wish you'd never called

Oh, they're friendly when they meet you but they're strangers when they go

Ah, do you mind if I come join you, would you like to dance one more?



--- Instrumental ---



And it's gettin' near to closing and the seconds pass like years

Lots of friends to share the laughter not a one to share the tears

Oh, and you wish they'd change that juke box

'Cause you know every song it plays

Can I drop you off at my place, oh, what's the matter are you gay?



You gotta twenty in your pocket, got your toothbrush in your purse

Life could get a whole lot better but it better not get worse

Single bars and single women with a single thought in mind

Just to make it till the morning looking for what they can find...
