Respectable Dive

Let’s meet in a respectable dive On the somewhat safe street And have a beer We’ve both kept our eyes on the ball We know the lyrics to them all These songs of fear And baby I love you And I do not want to lose you But I’m not able to put my cards on the table And if you only knew of the hand that I’m holding You would be blushing And I am so far from bluffing In this respectable dive I know that we never play cards or write postcards When we’re both in the same town But still I remember some notes on the kitchen counter Back from work I’ve found And baby I love you And I do not want to lose you But I’m not able to put my cards on the table And if you only knew of the hand I was holding You would be blushing And I am so far from bluffing In this respectable dive Baby I love you And I do not want to lose you Baby I love you And I do not want to lose you
