Barenaked Ladies – Conventioneers Lyrics  Share

From Barenaked Ladies's album: Maroon

You walked into the room
And the whole place stopped to notice
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
I^,ve never been ashamed of my attraction
I^,d be happy if you gave me just a fraction
As we danced, I could see in your eyes
You and me as senior citizens in love

I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the t.v.
Too patient as I^,m playing L(1)O(1)V(4)E(1)

And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh
And we have to or we^,ll end up in the bath

Now we^,re in the bath, I^,m already thinking marriage
I know that in the past it was something I^,d disparage
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
[ Conventioneers lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/b/barenaked-ladies/conventioneers/ ]
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
And I guess I^,ll see you Monday like before

Before all the fireworks exploded
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
Now what can we say?
Have a nice day
Looks like rain today...

Now I^,m in a cab, heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
Now I^,ve landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation?
So I wait, come in late. It^,d be great
If you transferred out of state
