Barenaked Ladies - Conventioneers Lyrics

Lyrics Conventioneers - Barenaked Ladies



You walked into the room
And the whole place stopped and noticed
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 t.v.
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
And now we're in the bath, I′m already thinking marriage
I know that in the past it was something I′d disparage
You turned 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 loaded, 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
