Lyrics I've Slipped Her Mind - Robert Cray

I've Slipped Her Mind

I lit two brand-new candles
Set two glasses out for wine
Two hours ago
She was due here anytime
I’m starting to believe
I’ve slipped her mind
Friday night she’s coming
Got the date circled in red
I’ve planned this night all day
High hopes, high hopes
Running through my head
Had big plans for love and romance
Ohhh, and I got the blues instead
Both candles just burned out
I sip the wine till it’s gone
Called her place all evening
But the phone rings on and on
Two hours ago
She was due here any time
And I’m starting to believe, yeah
Ohhh, I’ve slipped her mind
Both candles just burned out
Drank the wine till it’s gone
Called her place all evening
The phone rings on and on
Two hours ago
She was due here any time
And I believe, I believe, I believe
I’ve slipped her mind
I believe, I believe
Ohhhh, that I’ve slipped her mind
Ohhh, no, no
Don’t tell me that this is it
I’ve planned this night all day, baby
How can you be so cold to Young Bob?
No, no, no, no
No, two hours ago
And it’s been five
No, no
I can’t take this anymore
I’m just about to give up on the whole damn thing
No, no
