Single Women

(Michael O'Donoghue)

Single bars and single women

With a single thought in mind

Just to make it till the morning

Looking for what they can find

For a man they won't remember

For a night they can't forget

Do you come to this place often?

May I light your cigarette?

Drinkin' beer in

AmarilloPassing time and swaping jokes

Hoping for a new beginning

But beginning to lose hope

And you're waiting for that moment

When a glance becomes a stare

Mmm, what's that perfume that you're wearing?

Haven't I met you somewhere?

Find a matchbook in the morning

With a name and number scrawled

When you phone, a woman answers

And you wish you'd never called

Oh, they're friendly when they meet you

But they're strangers when they go

Ahh, do you mind if

I come join you?

Would you like to dance one more?

And it's gettin' near to closing

And the seconds pass like years

Lots of friends to share the laughter

Not a one to share the tears

Oh and you wish they'd change that juke box

Cause you know every song it plays

Can I drop you off at my place?

Oh, what's the matter, are you gay?

You gotta twenty in your pocket

Got your toothbrush in your purse

Life could get a whole lot better

But it better not get worse

Single bars and single women

With a single thought in mind

Just to make it till the morning

Looking for what they can find
