Respectable Dive

Let's meet in a respectable dive

On the somewhat safe street

And have a beer

We've both kept our eyes on the ball

We know the lyrics to them all

These songs of fear

And baby I love you

And I do not want to lose you

But I'm not able to put my cards on the table

And if you only knew of the hand that I'm holding

You would be blushing

And I am so far from bluffing

In this respectable dive

I know that we never play cards or write postcards

When we're both in the same town

But still, I remember some notes on the kitchen counter

Back from work, I've found

And baby I love you

And I do not want to lose you

But I'm not able to put my cards on the table

And if you only knew of the hand I was holding

You would be blushing

And I am so far from bluffing

In this respectable dive

Baby, I love you

And I do not want to lose you

Baby, I love you

And I do not want to lose you
