Dinner at 8, that sounds fine
Suppose that means you'll turn up 'round 9
Bought a bunch of flowers just for her
She says the burden's on the receiver
I open the door and you walked in
*sniff*
The scent of wild Jasmine
The room seemed to freeze in time
My regular table will be just fine
Radiant and elegant you might be
But your concentration is so go-lightly
Both of ya eyes reflecting the moon
You really think you own the room
So what game shall we play today?
How about the one
Where you don't get your way
But even when you do that's okay
(repeat)
Try to pick it up reading the signs
It's turning out to be a real good time
So who'd have thought that entertainment
Lies in the water of your discontent
How we sit at the table face to face
Queen takes pawn
Cheek on cheek mate
I feel your foot brush against my leg
I'm not that easily led
You flutter your eyes and
You toss your hair
I have to say that it is kind of unfair!
So let me tell you baby now what's in store
You'll win the battle
But I'll win the war
So what game shall we play today
How about the one where you don't get your way
But even if you do, that's ok
(repeat)
This has been fun I suppose
Although my feelings are all juxtaposed
But the truth be told
I'm as fickle as hell
But gentleman
Never kiss and tell
So what game shall we play today
How about the one where you don't get your
Way
But even if you do, that's ok
(repeat)
