about

This song encapsulates the first encounters of long lasting relationship all starting with a "First Date"

lyrics

Babe, you look pretty tonight
That's something I might say
If I had a romantic bone in my body
The moment's just passed anyway
You probably think I'm a waste of time
With nothing to my name
I'm not the heir of any fortune
Nor with any prize to claim

We sit in silence for a while
The waitress asks if we'd like more time
I buy a bottle of red wine
To try and loosen up the vibe
If I say what I wanna say
It'll come out all kinds of lame
I've never been that great on dates
My table manner, such a shame
You stare at me intently
But I just look away
I've never been that good at eye contact
You'll think I'm lying anyway

Now I'm drunk enough to come out of my shell
Restaurants have never been my scene
I think you'll know just what I mean
Let's get out of this place and go someplace that I think is great
It's happy hour at the hotel I'll buy you a drink
I might buy twelve

And now that I've loosened up a little
I'll tell you 'bout what I've been thinking
My family history and who I've dated
That's probably too much information
Now it's nine o'clock and the band on stage begins to rock
I'm having such a good time
And goddamn, you look pretty tonight

(Solo)

We go our separate ways at dawn
From the afterparty down the road
I hope that you will call me back again
So that I can

Say what I wanna say without feeling all kinds of lame
Let's meet again
Same time same place
I've gotta say last night was great
And now that I've loosened up a little
And I think I've got to know ya
We'll goddamn baby, I gotta say
You're looking so pretty tonight
