Third Rate Romance

[Verse 1]

Sittin' at a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant

She was starin' at her coffee cup

He was tryin' to keep his courage up by applyin' booze

The talk was small, if they talked at all, they both knew what they wanted

There was no need to talk about it

They were old enough to know about it and keep it loose

[Chorus]

She said, "You don't look like my type but I guess you'll do"

Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous

He said, "I'll even tell you that I love you if you want me to"

Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

When they left the bar they got in his car and they drove away

They drove to the Family Inn

She didn't even have to pretend she didn't know what for

Then he went to the desk and he made his request

While she waited outside

Then he came back with the key

And she said, "Give it to me, I'll unlock the door"

[Chorus]

She kept saying, "I've never really done this kind of thing before, have you?"

Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous

He said, "Yes I have but only a time or two"
