| Don’t pay me no mind, baby
|
| Shine shine shine
|
| Don’t pay me no mind, sugar
|
| Shine shine shine
|
| I had seen you when the hosted seated you
|
| In a station of mine still I’m taking my time
|
| Made sure the moment got seized, made up my mind
|
| Through a napkin over my sleeve, straightened my tie
|
| Mind if I behold you through the fold of your menu
|
| Couture, all up against you, oh lord
|
| How could I convince you? |
| I just met you
|
| And I’m instantly listening to your instrumental
|
| Poor me, I poured water inside your glass
|
| For a brief moment our eyes had kind of met
|
| I confess, I felt that inside my chest
|
| Almost made quite a mess yet I digress
|
| I would guess you’re meeting a date here
|
| I offer, she order hors d’oeuvres while she wait here
|
| She brushed her bangs to clear off her face, yeah
|
| Parted her lips and turned crab cakes to Shakespeare
|
| The way the lady bait a trap, I’m afraid to ask
|
| My imagination act, I run away with that
|
| Run away with me, I swear I’m not a maniac
|
| I’ll give you that pretty diamond ring and last name to match
|
| I ain’t saying that, I practiced waiting in the back
|
| I know I better make it fast before her date get back
|
| Yeah, I place her order, grabbed the plate, relaxed
|
| Here, let me fix my face get my game in tact
|
| Fear, I chased the clock as I can’t make it stop
|
| I played the waiter job, made it to the table top
|
| Time to play your cards, ace got to take your shot
|
| Before I could speak he showed up to devastate the plot
|
| Her real server showed up, my plan fell through
|
| «Sir, are y’all together? |
| Ma’am, can I help you?»
|
| She looking puzzled, I stand without words
|
| I’m sorry, I don’t really work here — awkward
|
| Let me explain, you see I ain’t much for wait and see
|
| So when I seen you take a seat I played maitre d'
|
| She replied angrily, «Mister, I can’t believe
|
| You’d stand your grown ass in this place and play games with me
|
| Crazy freak, wait, how did you get all that food?»
|
| I ordered from the table around the corner and brought it to you
|
| Can’t say I thought it through, ma’am it’s all sort of new
|
| But when I saw you I sort of knew I had to talk to you
|
| And nothing in my arsenal seemed possible
|
| So I called an audible Serve you? |
| I’m honoured to
|
| I didn’t mean to bother you, I just want to watch a few
|
| Moments of your life much like a fly on a wall would do
|
| Never mind me, the light from your unusually bright shine blinded me
|
| So that was all I could see, I understand if you don’t want to talk to me
|
| I’ll just leave, pardon me, I’ll just take this little broken heart and leave
|
| «Wait, that was a stupid thing to do
|
| But my date didn’t show up and my table’s set for two»
|
| I pulled on my coat like, aw look at you
|
| That’s all I really wanted ma’am enjoy your afternoon
|
| I’m through |
