☆ One Last Night

Well, she picked me up in a German car
And she took me out to an Irish bar
Where I drank some beer in a plastic cup
‘Til I had some trouble standing up
And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space
Where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass
Was so intense I could barely feel my face
Then I think I asked her back to my place

But that’s all I recall
And when I woke up in the hall
I was alone and softly groaning
And I lost my keys, and I lost my phone, and
I wondered what I did or said
That I might soon regret
It was the night I can’t remember
With the girl I can’t forget

Well, I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin
The next evening when my friends walked in
And when I asked them if they knew where I’d been
They didn’t speak at first; they only grinned
You see, I’m not the type to get in fights
But that might not have been the case last night
Because they heard that I had a word or two
With the man who asked, “Is she with you?”

And if I took it the wrong way
I guess that’s not for me to say
Though it seems I may have slipped up
When I offered him some grooming tips
But at least that helps explain
The cuts and bruises on my head
From the night I can’t remember
With the girl I can’t forget

And it’s all coming back now
Don’t know how to react now
Guess I’ll let it go
I’m not so sure I want to know

Well, I was back at work at 9:15
When a message popped up on my screen
It said, “Pick me up at 8:45
And we can give it one more try”

And now that I’m with her
The whole thing seems a bit absurd
Though she never fails to tell the tale
Of the time she had to post my bail
And for giving me a second chance
I’m forever in her debt
Since the night I can’t remember
She’s the girl
I will never forget
