I was unattached
He was quite a catch with a nose ring
Serves coffee on the side
Looks handsome in a tie and he knows it
Step into my taxi
Pull away, he's waving at me
I can dress it up pretty
I can blame it on cities
But he doesn't want me, he doesn't want me
When it comes to it, really the truth is
Oh no, he doesn't want me
And I know that I could pretend
But it's one down
And it's back to daydreams again
Sometimes you can try
Do everything just right, make him notice
Cue the moon and stars
I wait outside the bar in a nice dress
Maybe it just slipped his mind
Maybe he was working late tonight
I can dress it up pretty
I can blame it on cities
But he doesn't want me, he doesn't want me
When it comes to it, really the truth is
Oh no, he doesn't want me
And I know that I could pretend
But it's one down
And it's back to daydreams again
Funny when it rains
You can never catch a train on the red line
You step in from the storm
A stranger holds the door and it's spring time
