Try Again

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Somewhere between drunkenness and chivalry I hold the door open and let her pass through She says, "Thanks" to me in a British accent And I try to answer her in the same voice She laughs at me, says, "What was that supposed to be?" I say, "I'm sorry, I'm from a different part of the country" [Chorus] She says, "Come on, baby, try again Come on, baby, try again" [Verse 2] Somewhere between drunkenness and sincerity I smile at her for just a little too long Charlie's drinking wine, Judy's laughing at him She says, "I forget that you're such a fancy guy" He tips his hat, says, "M'lady, do you come here often?" I swear I've seen them do this one a hundred times before [Chorus] Come on, baby, try again Come on, baby, try again [Verse 3] Somewhere between drunkenness and charity She puts her hand on the sleeve of my coat She says, "I've missed this" I say, "I know, I've missed you, too" She says, "I was actually talking about your coat" She makes me laugh, oh, how she makes me laugh I just let my head sink down and fake some deep sobs [Chorus] Come on, baby, try again Come on, baby, try again [Verse 4] Somewhere between drunkenness and jealousy I watch her talking to some old friend What a reunion, he recognised her across the room How many years could there be to catch up on? And somewhere between drunkenness and honesty I make a silent toast to the things that I do and don't miss [Outro] Come on, baby, try again Come on, baby, try again Come on, baby, try again Come on, baby, try again
