You’ve got your good shoes on
The ones you wear just to tell the other girls
That your sense of fashion’s keen,
As you descend upon the scene
But kick them off for now
I don’t know why but I’m hoping that tonight
We could leave the fast lane out
And leave impressions on the couch
Don’t you wish that we could slip
Into the kind of buzz that only comes from Sunday afternoons
We’ll wave good night
To the crowds, the lines, and the lights
And it may not be that cool, but it’s just my style…
Honey, let’s lay low for a while.
Please don’t get me wrong
I’m not averse to a painting of the town
It’s a fun and worthy cause
Bouncing on and off the walls
But here’s another thought
That there are worse things than throwing in the towel
And working our way through
Whatever bottle smiles at you
Call me what you like, if it calms you down inside
I’m a blanket full of water, I’m a bore
But give it a little time- I’ll make it worth your while
You’ll be calling out for just a little more…
Best of all my dear
We’ll dim the room while the radio is on
And you can slowly put to use
Your favorite dancing shoes
