Bougainvilleas on the vine
Victrola singing Patsy Cline
Had your back against the wall
Cigarettes and chlorine
Midnight at the marquee
Yeah, you kissed me in the hall

And I gave up on you calling me up
A drink or three ago
Oh, I know that you won't but I hope you do
And that's just me, you know
Oh, I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Getting drunk in the afternoon
Red wine and blue

Close my eyes so I can hear
The words you whispered in my ear
On the balcony
Your floor, picking up my dress
And your heart beating on my chest
Does your bed feel like me?

And I gave up on you calling me up
A drink or three ago
Yeah, I know that you won't, but I hope you do
And that's just me, you know
Oh, I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Getting drunk in the afternoon
Red wine and blue (ooh)

Ooh (ooh)
Ooh (ooh)
Oh, oh (oh)
Oh

Bougainvilleas on the vine
Did I dream us up in my mind?
Did I dream us up in my mind?

Yeah, I gave up on you calling me up
A drink or three ago
Oh, I know that you won't, but I hope you do
And that's just me, you know
Oh, I'm all dressed up, nowhere to go
Guess I'm still hung up on you
Red wine and blue

Oh (oh)
Oh (oh)
Oh, oh (oh)
Oh (oh)
