Can you tell me
why have i come?
why am i in chicago?
i just wanted to kiss the bride,
i didn't think i would be seeing you
And i had to laugh
you were shaking my hand
as if we'd never met and i
had to cry
'cause the tears were too wet
and my eyes were too full
knowing i was forgettable
Did it ever hit you to call - no
phones in your chicago?
there's nothing that i need to convey, just
maybe a small hello from la
And i had to laugh
you were searching your head
for the right thing to say and i
had to cry
'cause the tears were too wet
and my eyes were too full
knowing i was forgettable
I can recall every face that i have ever kissed
how did i fall on your miss miscellaneous list?
And i had to cry
there was no other way to express all my joy,
and i
had to laugh
when i thought of my fate
it was all i could do
knowing i had escaped
from you
