I was unattached
He was quite a catch
With a nose ring
Serves coffee on the side
Looks handsome in a tie
And he knows it

Step into my taxi
Pull away, he's waving at me
I can dress it up pretty
I can blame it on cities

But he doesn't want me
He doesn't want me
When it comes to it
Really the truth is
Oh no, he doesn't want me
And I know that I could pretend
But it's one down
And it's back to daydreams again

Sometimes you can try
Do everything just right
Make him notice
Cue the moon and stars
I wait outside the bar
In a nice dress

Maybe it just slipped his mind
Maybe he was working late tonight
I can dress it up pretty
I can blame it on cities

But he doesn't want me
He doesn't want me
When it comes to it
Really the truth is
Oh no, he doesn't want me
And I know that I could pretend
But it's one down
And it's back to daydreams again

Ooh (ooh)
Ooh (ooh)
Ooh (ooh)

Ooh (ooh)
Ooh (ooh)
Ooh-ooh (ooh)

Funny when it rains
You can never catch a train
On the red line
You step in from the storm
A stranger holds the door
And it's spring time
