Lyrics No Caviar - Dinah Washington

I met him in a bar they serve no caviar
Just ten-cent beer and pretzels on a plate
We talked a little while, I liked his flashy style
Uh, and then he tried to make a date
Now if I had went on my way
I wouldn't be in this mess today

I said, "I'm going home, I live there all alone"
He took the cue and quickly paid the check
I didn't know it then, I'd get it in the end
And this fine guy would make my life a wreck
Now if I had went on my way
I wouldn't be in this mess today

We sipped a little wine, I listened to his lie
And then we made some love as love should be
I kissed him once or twice and everything was nice
Then that wine got the best of me
Say, "If I had went on my way
Mmm, I wouldn't be in this mess today"

How's he took me for my soul, took all my gold?
Then he said, "Our love just wasn't real"
He opened up my eyes and much to my surprise
The man I loved turned out to be a heel
If I had stayed outta that bar where they serve no caviar
I wouldn't have these dues to pay
And I wouldn't be in this mess today
