I know you're down and you can't stand to see the truth
And she left town and she was all you had to lose
Goodbyes are never easy
But brother, if I may
Tell a lie, tell a joke
Buy a drink or bum a smoke
From that pretty girl in the corner of the room
Make her laugh but don't you cry
She might take you home tonight and make you feel wanted
Don't let a memory make you miss a moment
♪
And I gotta say, you were hard to live with, with her anyway
And that's okay, 'cause we knew from the start she wouldn't stay
And now that it's over
Brother, take a chance
Tell a lie, tell a joke
Buy a drink or bum a smoke
From that pretty girl in the corner of the room
Make her laugh but don't you cry
She might take you home tonight and make you feel wanted
Don't let a memory make you miss a moment
You can stay here and keep talking to this mirror
Let the moment pass you by
Or you can turn away and let go of yesterday
Let tomorrow start tonight
So tell a lie, tell a joke
Buy a drink or bum a smoke
From that pretty girl in the corner of the room
Make her laugh but don't you cry
She might take you home tonight and make you feel wanted
Don't let a memory make you miss a moment
Don't let a memory make you miss a moment
