Lyrics

She was leaning on the jukebox
Curls in her hair
All the guys were down there checking her out
Wishing she was theirs
I knew I had to make my move
The moment would not last
So I combed my hair with my fingers
And just as she walked past
I said

Honey don't you hesitate
To call me any time
Here's my name and number
Three nickels and a dime

"Mister," she said, "I don't believe
That we've been introduced"
"Well baby let me buy you a drink
What have you got to lose"
We sat in idle conversation
As the regulars tried to cut in
Well she just smiled and blew them off
Saying "Sorry baby I'm with him"
They said

Now I thought that we'd be homebound soon
Safe behind my locked door
That maybe we were both just lonely strangers
Looking for something more
Somehow we never made it there
When closing time finally came
She slipped me a wrinkled scrap of a bar napkin
And some of her loose change
She said
