lyrics

You were sitting in a restaurant
Alone at a table for ten
It looked like a lot of your friends had done you in
I like the sound of your accent
I like the words that you use
And honey I don’t why you wanna take all this abuse

I want to visit your country
I want to live in your town
I want to see where you grew up
And where you got down
And baby I would do the laundry
I’ll change the bed every day
’Cause sugar, I want you, and I’ll do anything that helps

You can say what you want to
And I can say what I want to
I think we oughta say nothing

You can say what you want to
And then I’ll say what I want to
I think we shoulda said nothing

You were sitting in a restaurant
Alone at a table for ten
It looked like a lot of your friends had done you in
Now we’re driving down the highway, highway 495
A sandwich, a six pack, a Buick, and a runaway bride
