What Was I Thinking? Songtext

von Christine Lavin

It was a last minute invitation, I did not have a thing to wear
I ran into the store, I said I need something black
Something formal, other than that I don't care

I made it to the theatre as the lights dimmed
The first act was brilliantly fun
When I caught my reflction during intermission
I thought What have I done

What was I thinking? What was I blind
When I bought this outfit I must have been out of my mind?
What was I thinking? Look at this dress
I'm taking up drinking, my life is a mess

My good friend said "I know you're gonna love him.
I've known him for a long long time.
And if I were not happily married myself
In a heartbeat, I would try to make him mine.
So I figured, I'll take my chances
I mean really what harm could it do
Makes you wonder 'bout your good friends and their motivations
When something like this happens to you"

What was she thinking? Who is this guy
Maybe I will choke on this porkchop and conveniently die
What was she thinking? Quick sharpen this knife
I'm thinking of drinking and I'm thinking of eding my life

Ache tu livre, aah what a dinner
Henery Bonjour, Kae lacksiman

Oh it was late, I had insomnia
The TV stair stepper started to look good
I thought to myself shuld I buy it
Then I heard Bruce Jennings voice say "yes you should"
And that's that master, and that bald headed man spray
And that victoria jackson makeup kit
Now I can barely get around my apartment
It's so full of this stupid stuff

What was I thinking? Look at this junk
I can't blame this on drinking
I have never, hardly, right now I'm not drunk
What was I thinking? When will this end?
What was I thinking? When will this end?
What was I thinking? This song has no end.
What was I thinking? Okay, that's the end.
