Had To

Can you tell me

Why have i come?

Why am i in chicago?

I just wanted to kiss the bride,

I didn't think i would be seeing you

Chorus:

And i had to laugh

You were shaking my hand

As if we'd never met and i

Had to cry

'cause the tears were too wet

And my eyes were too full

Knowing i was forgettable

Did it ever hit you to call - no

Phones in your chicago?

There's nothing that i need to convey, just

Maybe a small "hello" from la

And i had to laugh

You were searching your head

For the right thing to say and i

Had to cry

'cause the tears were too wet

And my eyes were too full

Knowing i was forgettable

I can recall every face that i have ever kissed

How did i fall on your "miss miscellaneous" list?

And i had to cry

There was no other way to express all my joy,

And i

Had to laugh

When i thought of my fate

It was all i could do

Knowing i had escaped

From you
