Conventioneers

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

I 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 L¹O¹V⁴E¹

And we laugh, and we laugh, and we laugh

And we have to or we'll end up in the bath

[Verse 3]

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

[Bridge]

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"

"What'd you say?" "Doesn't matter anyway"

[Verse 4]

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
