Can you tell me
Why have i come?
Why am i in chicago?
I just wanted to kiss the bride,
I didn't think i would be seeing you
Chorus:
And i had to laugh
You were shaking my hand
As if we'd never met and i
Had to cry
'cause the tears were too wet
And my eyes were too full
Knowing i was forgettable
Did it ever hit you to call - no
Phones in your chicago?
There's nothing that i need to convey, just
Maybe a small "hello" from la
And i had to laugh
You were searching your head
For the right thing to say and i
Had to cry
'cause the tears were too wet
And my eyes were too full
Knowing i was forgettable
I can recall every face that i have ever kissed
How did i fall on your "miss miscellaneous" list?
And i had to cry
There was no other way to express all my joy,
And i
Had to laugh
When i thought of my fate
It was all i could do
Knowing i had escaped
From you
