Blind Dating Fun

I broke up with my baby, though it was the right thing to do

It has left me languishing, so lonesome and so blue

So I called up all my girlfriends, I said "Introduce me, please

You've gotta know someone who's gotta have something in common with me."

But how many times will I have to tell some stranger my life story

Which gets longer and longer and longer the longer I live on this earth

And how many times will I pretend I'm fascinated by the ordinary details

Of the lives of the strangers that I've encountered on my search

I'm in a Mexican restaurant with a friend of a friend of a friend

(of a friend of a friend of a friend)

He's been burned so many times he's scared to try again

He's chain-smoking Camels, while I sip decaf tea

I'm about as comfortable with him as he is with me

But, how many times will he have to tell some stranger his life story

Which gets longer and longer and longer the longer he lives on this earth

And how many times will he pretend he's fascinated by the ordinary details

of the lives of the strangers that he's encountered on his search

I have put on some makeup

I have combed my hair

I thought this was a subway

No, it's a Love Train

Nothing but couples everywhere

I'm standing in a museum

This guy is twenty-five minutes late

Patience is a virtue

I have never possessed

I'm giving up on this date

But wait! Here he is approaching

He smiles, French kisses my hand

We wander around, we're gazing at paintings I can not understand

So I ask a whole lot of questions, but it turns out that he hates art

He thought a museum was perfect place to meet

I think it is a perfect place to part

Oh wo but-aca
