Cotton Candy

(album: Purple House - 2018)

Cotton Candy
With a racy line
Drinks were handy
Across the county line
Super sexy
And no promise to fill

You would have thought someone had slipped me a pill
And would have dropped dead if her looks could kill
But the clock stopped ticking and against my will

I'm left looking at taillights
Waving goodbye to Irene

On my shoulder
With a girlish grin
Me thinking out loud
Honey where you been
Said I've been right here
With no place to go

Seemed so righteous that I couldn't say no
I'm booked for heaven see you later below
But the lights came up and there wasn't no show

All aglow in her taillights
Waving goodbye to Irene

She would tease me
Then she'd squeeze me
Knew she could please me

But goodbye came
And only Irene to blame

You know the story... fellas
You been there before
You know the story... girls
Know how to find the door
It's nothing personal
It's not about my pride

But if seen again, won't let her run and hide
Cuztime this time, it won't on my side
Take her by the hand and take her for a ride
Drop her off at sunrise
And wave goodbye to Irene
