The heavens were alive with stars
She pointed out which one was Mars
Lying arm in arm against an old tree trunk
She used a phrase of Holly Golightly’s from ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’
She said: “Don’t take me home until I’m drunk. Very drunk indeed!”

We talked about a second date
She said that meeting me was fate
And, though I don’t believe in that crap, I said: “Yes”
We both knew where the night would end
But when we kissed, I won’t pretend,
I still shook with apprehension, I confess
And then I said: “I could fall in love with you”
But, as I recall, she said: “I like you too”

And that little word was the warning sign
That little word meant she’d never be mine,
as I discovered the next day
A text on my phone saying
“I don’t know whether I mentioned him last night,
but I’m getting back together with my old fiancé
I’m sorry, by the way”

And, when I think about that night,
I wonder if perhaps I might not have done every single thing I could
But, deep down, I know I was blind;
she just used me to make up her mind
But if I had to do it all again, I would
And then I said: “I could fall in love with you”
But, as I recall, she said: “I like you too”
Yeah, I could fall in love with you
But as I recall, she said: “I like you too”
