Turn off the music Turn up the light Go put your shoes on While I open the door You'll shake my hand as I wish you good-night And find myself lonely once more Oh well what the hell Some other evening, some other time It's time for a bottle and a moment of silence For another ex lover of mine You weren't the first one God knows there've been more Remember a few nights, forgotten the rest The day that I met you I stopped keepin' score Pretending that you were the best Oh well what the hell Some other evening, some other time It's time for a bottle and a moment of silence For another ex lover of mine I've looked for perfection in ev'ry hotel room Polite desperation clouds all that I say My life ends up reading like a cheap dime story novel Romance in the moonlight Disappears with the day But just like a good man, I still keep on searching For someone to love me, a hand for my hand I keep on believing that our love has changed And I'll be on my feet when I land Oh well what the hell Some other evening, some other time It's time for a bottle and a moment of silence For another ex lover of mine
