Lyrics What You Could've Won - Milburn

What You Could've Won

It’s closing time and it’s getting late
Can you fetch my coat?
'Cause I don’t feel too great
Anymore, but I want to stay
Oh, don’t you want to stay as well?
I don’t think that you do
I’ve got this funny feeling that you don’t feel like I do
This conversation’s just passing you by
I know it, I can see it in your eyes
You’ve had one too many, lo and behold
You’re tellin' the secrets that can’t be told
You feel so special, it feels so bold
But then you knock me back and I fall
I fall to the floor
And all I wanted was a kiss
All I wanted was a chance tonight
I’m walking home, I’ve pissed and I’m frozen
My mind’s been warmed up by that little token of you
In your little ways
Still, they’re sleepin' in your bed today
And now beeps the phone
I fumble ‘round to answer, but I end up puttin' it on hold
Late night taxis keep passin' me by
I feel sick and look to the sky
I’ve had one too many, lo and behold
The late night lovers stay out in the cold
I ring your number, I feel so bold
You kick me into touch and I fall
I fall to the floor
But all I wanted was a kiss
All I wanted was a chance tonight
But yeah, your ignorance was bliss
Yeah, your ignorance was paradise
So just give me a chance
Just give me a sign or something
To tell me what you want
'Cause before too long there’ll be somebody else
It’s then that you’ll know that you wanted more
You call out my name, but I fail to respond
Now it knocks you back in the floor
You fall to the floor
You’re not just a number
Upon a computer
Or a waiting list
You’re not just a number
Upon a computer
Or a shopping list
