I only popped in for the one To pick up the gossip And sup up and run One or two minutes at best But there was this new face And I was impressed She sat at my table And sippped lemonade I made my excuses and stayed This angel ignored me at first I quickly developed A suitable thirst Suddenly I caught her eye And uttered a greeting To hear her reply Its tough for a girl on her own Im afraid I made my excuses and stayed I hadnt intended to linger Our sense were quick to react There was a ring on her finger I chose not to dwell on that fact We talked for a hour or two She stuck to her soda She held on like glue This woman was winning my vote With each Shirley Temple That slipped down her throat Her laughter grew louded The orchestra played I made my excuses and stayed They rang the last orders bell I offered to walk her Back to her hotel I started to say my goodbye Right there in the lobby She started to cry One kiss was enough I confess I was swayed I made my excuses and stayed I made my excuses and stayed
