The Girl I Can't Forget

The Girl I Can't Forget - Fountains Of Wayne (韋恩噴泉)

Well she picked me up in a German car

And she took me out to an Irish bar

Where I drank some beer in a plastic cup

'Til I had some trouble standing up

And then she drove downtown to a strobe lit space

Where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass

Was so intense I could barely feel my face

Then I think I asked her back to my place

But that's all I recall

And when I woke up in the hall

I was alone and softly groaning

And I lost my keys and I lost my phone and

I wondered what I did or said

That I might soon regret

It was the night I can't remember

With the girl I can't forget

Well I was reeling watching the ceiling spin

The next evening when my friends walked in

And when I asked them if they knew where I'd been

They didn't speak at first they only grinned

You see I'm not the type to get in fights

But that might not have been the case last night

Because they heard that I had a word or two

With the man who asked Is she with you

And if I took it the wrong way

I guess that's not for me to say

Though it seems I may have slipped up

When I offered him some grooming tips

But at least that helps explain

The cuts and bruises on my head

From the night I can't remember

With the girl I can't forget

And it's all coming back now

Don't know how to react now

Guess I'll let it go

I'm not so sure I want to know

Well I was back at work at 9:15

When a message popped up on my screen

It said Pick me up at 8:45

And we can give it one more try

And now that I'm with her

The whole thing seems a bit absurd

Though she never fails to tell the tale

Of the time she had to post my bail

And for giving me a second chance

I'm forever in her debt

Since the night I can't remember

She's the girl

I will never forget
