FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE - The Girl I Can't Forget lyrics

rate me

Well, she picked me up in a German car

And she took me out to an Irish bar

Where I drank some beer in a plastic cup

'Til I had some trouble standing up

And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space

Where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass

Was so intense I could barely feel my face

Then I think I asked her back to my place

But that's all I recall

And when I woke up in the hall

I was alone and softly groaning

And I lost my keys, and I lost my phone, and

I wondered what I did or said

That I might soon regret

It was the night I can't remember

With the girl I can't forget

Well, I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin

The next evening when my friends walked in

And when I asked them if they knew where I'd been

They didn't speak at first; they only grinned

You see, I'm not the type to get in fights

But that might not have been the case last night

Because they heard that I had a word or two

With the man who asked, "Is she with you?"

And if I took it the wrong way

I guess that's not for me to say

Though it seems I may have slipped up

When I offered him some grooming tips

But at least that helps explain

The cuts and bruises on my head

From the night I can't remember

With the girl I can't forget

And it's all coming back now

Don't know how to react now

Guess I'll let it go

I'm not so sure I want to know

Well, I was back at work at 9:15

When a message popped up on my screen

It said, "Pick me up at 8:45

And we can give it one more try"

And now that I'm with her

The whole thing seems a bit absurd

Though she never fails to tell the tale

Of the time she had to post my bail

And for giving me a second chance

I'm forever in her debt

Since the night I can't remember

She's the girl

I will never forget
