You know the other night
When you said you'd come over?
I came home early from work
And made some lasagna for us
Chilled some wine
Set the table
I even got out those napkins
That you can't even throw away after using
Found the candlesticks
And then I sat down and waited
Uh huh
What was I thinking?
Uh huh
My heart is sinking
Uh huh
Now I'm just drinking
I'm all alone 'cause you didn't come
The time came when you were supposed to turn up.
But you didn't
Half an hour passed
Another half hour
I was listening for your footsteps when I heard something
I got really excited
The sound came closer to my door
And passed
Went up the stairs, disappeared
I think it must've been Fred
Fat Fred.
Uh huh
What was I thinking?
Uh huh
My heart is sinking
Uh huh
Now I'm just drinking
I'm all alone 'cause you didn't come
After a while
Since you clearly weren't going to come
I thought
'I can't waste the wine, I've chilled it!'
After half a bottle
I started to feel much better
I was having such a good time by myself
I didn't even want you there
I was so glad I didn't give you a key
Because you know
That keys are for people that come unexpectedly
Not people that leave unexpectedly
Or never come at all
Uh huh
What was I thinking?
Uh huh
My heart is sinking
Uh huh
Now I'm just drinking
I'm all alone 'cause you didn't come
