Couples Only
Wynn Stewart · Other Songs - Wynn Stewart
So I came to the dance but all alone
Through the window saw you dance across the floor
And then I saw the sign above the door
Couples only, so I guess I'll have to go
Couples only, I'm left out in the cold
I'm holding back my tears with all my might
I'm so lonely, couples only tonight
You build me up so high, then let me down
It happens every time that he's in town
To know that you're with him just breaks my heart
And that sign above the door keeps us apart
