I met a young woman years ago, we went on a date. I drank too much rum and passed out. Needless to say, she didn't call me again. I wrote this song to make myself feel better. A guy can dream right? :-)
lyrics
Your heart is mine now
There ain't no hiding
Cause I'm going to find you
Wherever you may stay
Just from that night girl
The first time I saw you
It was so easy for me to see
That I'm the right one for you
And you're the only one for me
Well I ain't gonna buy you flowers
Or stand in line for a chance
I won't let your Voodoo powers
Leave my mind in a trance
Lord knows that ain't the way it's gonna be
Cause I'm the right one for you
And you're the only one for me
Well I didn't even get her number
The rum punched me in the head
Just when I thought I'd won it all
I was losing all again
I'm sick of losing
It turns out
I ain't the right one
Cause every dreams got to end
