I'm a romantic, there's no reason to lie
I fall in love with a handshake and an introduction, everytime
Maybe it's the way she smiles as she drinks her cocktail
Or how she brings her hair to her nose
For that familiar bar/cigarette smell
Or the way she says "this is only drink number 2"
As she orders another and stumbles back to her barstool
Am i wrong for feeling that connection that only alcohol brings?
Am I wrong that this jack and coke has me second guessing things?
Would she look at me weird if I lit up a smoke?
Can she tell that I've been fake laughing at all of her jokes?
Does she find it cute when I buy her, her favorite drink?
Or when I comment how her shirt matches her hair clip thing
Does she know I've already planned our first date?
Maybe we'll feed some ducks and picnic on the lake
Should I give her space to go back and hang with the girls
Or be cheesy and say she has the prettiest eyes in the world
I decide it'd be best to back off and give her, her space
I'll go back to my friends and try to evaluate
Did I smile enough? Did I look sincere?
Should I of asked for her number or what she's doing when she leaves here?
I need to build courage, so I finish my glass
Put it down on the table, take a quick cigarette drag
I have to find her and tell her exactly how I feel
I scan the room looking for my brunette with the blue heels
I look everywhere, is it possible she left?
Did she walk right by me on her way to the exit?
I order a beer, as any dejected guy would do
I feel a tap on my shoulder, and a blonde says "Hi how are you?"
Instantly the brunette is out of my mind
I mean I'm a romantic, there's no reason to lie.
