Barenaked Ladies - Conventioneers lyrics

You walked into the room

And the whole place stopped to notice

Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this

I've never been ashamed of my attraction

I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction

As we danced, I could see in your eyes

You and me as senior citizens in love

I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble

Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble

You, stationed in the warm glow of the t.v.

Too patient as I'm playing L(1)O(1)V(4)E(1)

And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh

And we have to or we'll end up in the bath

Now we're in the bath, I'm already thinking marriage

I know that in the past it was something I'd disparage

You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles

We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals

Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left

And I guess I'll see you Monday like before

Before all the fireworks exploded

Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying

Now what can we say?

Have a nice day

Looks like rain today...

Now I'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment

Everything is drab, and I wish it never started

Now I've landed in this awkward situation

How can I just avoid a conversation?

So I wait, come in late. It'd be great

If you transferred out of state
