you didn't think of her as a keeper
she's just another souvenir
if she's still around when the hockey game is over
and you finish another beer
then you're walk right over
and ask her darlin, what's your name
i got a hundred different reasons for leaving
but i can't remember why i came
she says i thought you'd never come over
i've been giving you the signals all night
did you think that i looked just like trouble
did you think i looked like i might bite
now that i have your attention
tell me darlin, what's your name
i got a hundred different reasons for leaving
but i can't remember why i came
she says i can't listen to coltrane
it always makes me want to dance
and when she turns around you slip away
you knew that it was your last chance
and you wonder why you ever went over
and asked her darlin, what's your name
i got a hundred different reasons for leaving
but i can't remember why i came
