lyrics

I walked into your store. I watched you folding clothes until…
I couldn't take it any more.
Can'tcha come and fold your clothes in my room?
Can'tcha come and fold your clothes in my room?
I came into your corner bar. You were back there mixing drinks.
I didn't order anything--but I couldn't help but think:
Can'tcha come and mix your drinks in my room?
Can'tcha come and mix your drinks in my room?
My room is two blocks south of here. We can come black out in here.
You were living your life. I was watching you.
You were right on course. I was passing through.
And I asked myself, "If not me, then who?"
Won'tcha come over and live your life in my room?
Won'tcha come over and live your life in my room?
My place is small, but there's a lovely view
You should come over and live your life in my room.
My place is small, but there's a lovely view
You should come over and live your life in my room.
