The Black Coat Song

(Lisa Gatewood)
I didn’t expect to see you here and I
didn’t plan a thing to say so
let me buy you a drink
and it’s okay if you want to go a
head and ignore me
I’m not as vulnerable as you think
You thank me for the beer and you
leave with some girl and I
cry on the drive home
and the windshield is foggy and I’m
feeling a bit dizzy and I
wish you were alone

And here I am missing you again
in that black coat I loved you in
it’s the same it’s the same it’s the same old line
that I’ve thrown to you so many times
you’re the same you’re the same you’re the same
so what’s happened to me?

You've still got my records and I
was thinking I could come over and
pick them up later on
or if that isn't convenient you could
bring them to the bar or I
could stop by when you're gone

And I can't wait to hear what you
thought of the Dylan that was
only released in Germany
but I won't tell you that I bought it just so
you would want to listen to it
cause you never listen to me

but here I am missing you again
in that black coat I love you in
it’s the same it’s the same it’s the same old line
that I’ve thrown at you so many times
you’re the same you’re the same you’re the same
so what’s happened to me?

And it's not like me to fall apart
every time I get to the sad part
it's the same it's the same it's the same old line
that I've lied about so many times
you're the same you're the same you're the same
you're the same you're the same you're the same
you're the same you're the same you're the same
so what happened to me?
