Too Much of a Good Time
Your smile across the room washed me away
Like mighty waves do unsuspecting sand.
I bet you’re master of all you survey
And well understand how to play your hand.
Why not casually cross the room
And coolly appraise all the pretty young things,
Sampling the wine and cheap perfume
As I'm left in the corner to count the rings.
But as the night falls and minutes turn to hours
You’re fated to find the limits of your powers.
You had too much of a good time,
Too much of a good time,
Oh, I’m sure you partied on.
You had too much of a good time,
Too much of a good time,
And returned to find me gone.
Yoyr eyes shined like beacons on the bay,
Mine ooking back forming circles of light,
But hubris led you to move away,
Sure I’d be there at the end of the night.
Stories could be told of your luscious skin –
My heart raced as it gleamed in the moonlight –
But what I learned of the contents within
Couldn’t be enough to make sparks ignite.
You exalted yourself, perched on a throne.
After last call we'll each go home alone.
You had too much of a good time,
Too much of a good time -
Oh, I’m sure you partied on.
You had too much of a good time,
Too much of a good time,
And returned to find me gone.
