Lyle Lovett The Girl In The Corner
I said howdy there lady This sure is some party I've never seen anything Like this before She said howdy there honey It's just barely started If you think this is something Just stand here some more Then she looked at me Then she laughed at me Then she lifted her glass to me And the rest they say is history I said that girl in the corner She looks so pretty Oh the girls all around her She makes 'em look plain Lady I need a drink Can I bring you another I'm hoping these bubbles They might know her name Well she looked at me Then she laughed at me Then she handed her glass to me And the rest they say is history But when I returned Champagne in my hands There stood two strangers Where we both did stand And the lady was gone And the evening wore on And the girl in the corner Was never alone But she looked at me Then she smiled at me Then she turned her eyes away from me And the rest they say is history Tim he was tall And Susan was smart And Francis she looked Like a fine work of art Melissa was sad But that made her sweet And Dan and Elaine Had the world at their feet Debra had Pliny Lisa had Tony And the girl in the corner She could've had anybody Richard was cool And Tubb he was funny And the tarot card lady She had everyone's money So I said my goodbyes When it came time to leave And as I walked out Someone pulled at my sleeve She said honey we never did officially meet But I sure am happy you came She said that girl in the corner She's more than pretty And man you're not the first To look over her way But if you still wanted I could introduce you But you never will be the same Then she looked at me Then she laughed at me Then she extended her hand to me And the rest they say is history
