Then You Do

[Verse 1:]
Gon' stay in, no need to see some cover charge dive tonight
Gonna listen to a record spin
Gonna wake up feelin' right
Then the telephone rings and it's on with some jeans
A couple friends for a drink or two
Said you weren't going out tonight
And then you do
You show up late, it's already loud
Dart boards and dollar beer
Laugh at some jokes and step through the crowd
And she's shinin' like a souvenir
The perfect shade of hazel eyes
Out of your league, it's true
Never think you'll get her to dance and then you do.

[Chorus:]
You hold out, you hang on
You rush in, get it all wrong
Then you break up and go back to
Who you were when lonely's all you knew
You get numbers, you get names
Get banged up from all love's games
Swear you're done falling for someone new
You think you won't but then you do.

[Verse 2:]
You wait a few nights before you call
You're playin' your cards close
The "hello" turns into a laugh
Six months, the next thing you know
It's whiskeys with her brother
Making space in a one bedroom
Never thought you'd find forever, and then you do.

[Chorus:]
You hold out, you hang on
You rush in, get it all wrong
Then you break up and go back to
Who you were when lonely's all you knew
You get numbers, you get names
Get banged up from all love's games
Swear you're done falling for someone new
You think you won't but then you do.

[Bridge:]
Then straight out of the blue
When you least expect her to
She says "Goodbye" and rips your world in two.

[Chorus:]
You hold out, you hang on
You rush in, get it all wrong
Then you break up and go back to
Who you were when lonely's all you knew
You get numbers, you get names
Get banged up from all love's games
Swear you're done falling for someone new
You think you won't but then you do, mm.

[Outro:]
Oh yeah, you do
Mm, mm.
