lyrics

LYRICS:
I should'a known it when we argued all the way to town
I got so angry every time that she would put me down
We sat in traffic and our voices just got really loud
I noticed once again that sure enough we'd drawn a crowd
I said I just don't like the way that this whole thing is going
She turned and said well then I think you better take me home

I said we oughta persevere with this if we were able
Started to realise we really should'a booked a table
It took an hour till the dopey waiter took our order
I said well maybe we should only just be drinking water
She said I think I'll need a drink to make it through the night
I said the way that this is turning out you could be right

The waitress came without a word and simply dumped our meal
My calamari looked and tasted like potato peel
The fish was old and cold and really had a funny smell
It wasn't hard to see the evening wasn't going well
I said I just don't like the way that this whole thing is going
She turned and said well then I think you better take me home

Got to the movies and we couldn't work out where to go
Not looking good cos we'd already missed the early show
We started running just to try to find a place to sit
But it was empty, not a soul and baby we were it
I said I just don't like the way that this whole thing is going
She turned and said well then I think you better take me home

We sat for 15 minutes man one thing was crystal clear
Not hard to see why we're the only people sitting here
The plot was poor and pointless and the acting really bad
She started playing with her phone and I got really mad
I said I just don't like the way that this whole thing is going
She turned and said well then I think you better take me home

Got up and left and slowly crept along the corridor
Nobody saw us as we snuck into the show next door
But they all noticed when she tried to find an empty chair
Sat on a lady's lap, a lap she didn't know was there
I said I just don't like the way that this whole thing is going
She turned and said well then I think you better take me home

We staggered from the bar and headed to another show
But when she spilled her drink it landed in the second row
A tender moment in the show the crowd had waited for
Was when I heard it: oh my god she had begun to snore
I said I just don't like the way that this whole thing is going
I woke her up and said I think I better take you home

There's been a change of plan I think I'm goin' home alone
