I was pourin' his coffee
at the local Waffle House
tryin' to keep track of all the lies
that kept crawlin' out his mouth

He said whatcha see pretty woman
when you look into my eyes
I tried to keep my cool
and give a most polite reply

chorus
I see me drownin' in a sea
of your arrogant pride
lots of lonely nights
and a future full of lies

I see my mind filled with thoughts
of what might have beens
if I do a little less resistin'
and alot more givin' in

verse
He proceded to sell me
a whole new perception
but he had me all wrong
cause I don't buy deception

He said, I'm a real standup guy
and I'm likin' what I see
I can see me with you
can you see you with me

repeat chorus

bridge
I said your persistence is
really quite stunning
but I'd be a fool to accept
an invitation quite so cunning
because........
repeat chorus
