 Valentine's Day Copyright 2003 by Adam Selzer. All rights reserved, ASCAP
I sang along with songs like "Just the Way You Are" And all of the other love songs that the cover band played While I watched the couples dancing in a mess of red balloons I carved initials on the table with a switchblade I ordered up a drink from the counter That frankly I couldn't afford Talked about politics with some Republican waitress And by 11 I was terribly bored Happy goddamn Valentines day I left when the band started "Come Go With Me" the table next to me had been empty all night happy Valentines day, indeed I'm living closer to the new downtown Than I was when I last heard from you On a clear night I can hear the drive-up windows at the fast food places out on Cedar Avenue Yesterday I thought that I saw you Walking out in front of city hall But when I got up closer it was just some other girl Who didn't really look like you at all Happy goddamn Valentines day, I'm getting tired of these same old streets I'm running out of money,and I'm running out of time happy Valentines day, indeed I'll write another letter, but I know I'll never mail it I don't know what your address is these days Somebody said that you've left Cincinnati But you're sure not back in Cornersville Trace There are always good movies on TV But they never get you off my mind Cause I wonder where you are whenever it snows And lately it's been snowing all the time Happy goddamn Valentines day I'm sure you never even think about me Well if anyone asks, I don't think about you either happy Valentines day, indeed February 2003
