Conventioneers

Artists : Barenaked Ladies : Conventioneers

you walked into the room
and the whole place stopped to notice
standing next to you, i feel hopeless and you know this
i've never been ashamed of my attraction
i'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction
as we danced, i could see in your eyes
you and me as senior citizens in love

followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
right up to your room for a drink and travel scrabble
you, stationed in the warm glow of the tv
too patient as i'm playing L-O-V-E
and we laugh... and we laugh... and we laugh
and we have to or we'll end up in the bath

now e're in the bath, i'm already thinking marriage
i know that in the past it would be something i'd disparage
you truned down all the lights, i lit the candles
we rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
then you slept, and i dressed, and i left
and i guess i'll see you monday like before

before all the fireworks exploded
our conversations were so leaded, innuendo flying
now what can we say?
have a nice day
looks like rain today...

now i'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment
everything is drab, and i wish it never started
now i've landed in this awkward situation
how can i just avoid a conversation?
so i wait, come in late. it'd be great
if you transferred out of state
