lyrics
The 1st word we exchanged was sorry
As I turned around and walked straight into you
You gave a nervous laugh and a flutter of your eyes
And then the conversation was through
The 2nd time we spoke was the takeaway
On the way home from the night in the town
You were there with your friends and a little worse for wear
You asked me for my number and so I wrote it down
Could you be my new girlfriend?
We'd go on some dates and live happy 'till the end
Could you be my new girlfriend or will I mess it up?
The 3rd day you sent me a message
apologising for your state last night
We exchanged a few more texts then I asked you on a date
I say 'I know a great place, I'll pick you up at 9'
The 1st date was a disaster
The waiter hit on you and poured my dinner down my clothes
Just when I thought it could get better
You called for a taxi and left me sat there all alone
The 4th time I saw you was Monday
At the place where I first bumped into you
You gave a nervous laugh and said you're sorry
But running out's the kinda thing you do and can we try again?
As I turned around and walked straight into you
You gave a nervous laugh and a flutter of your eyes
And then the conversation was through
The 2nd time we spoke was the takeaway
On the way home from the night in the town
You were there with your friends and a little worse for wear
You asked me for my number and so I wrote it down
Could you be my new girlfriend?
We'd go on some dates and live happy 'till the end
Could you be my new girlfriend or will I mess it up?
The 3rd day you sent me a message
apologising for your state last night
We exchanged a few more texts then I asked you on a date
I say 'I know a great place, I'll pick you up at 9'
The 1st date was a disaster
The waiter hit on you and poured my dinner down my clothes
Just when I thought it could get better
You called for a taxi and left me sat there all alone
The 4th time I saw you was Monday
At the place where I first bumped into you
You gave a nervous laugh and said you're sorry
But running out's the kinda thing you do and can we try again?
