I wish the words would fail me just for once
(Just once)
Keep in incommunicado
(You don't say a word)
Look for the present tense
And come to my senses
(Come pick me up)
Just like a despera-a-ado
(A-a-ado)
I talked for twenty minutes
By the time the party ended you'd forgotten
I'm still thinking about it
Five years later
You spoke an unfamiliar dialect
(Comme ca?)
Two and a half months over
(Over)
Next think I knew someone had called for the check
(Check please)
And you were gone before I turned it over
I dreamed we were alone all night
In a house made out of beds
And nothing happened
I think about it every time I see you
That's when I try to remember
There were never any terms we could agree to
Now can I please have a moment of your time?
(Can I please have a moment of your time?)
For I have the strength to change my mind
(Read my mind)
