The Date - Cathy Dennis

Aaaah aaaah

Ah ah ah

Aaaah aaaah

Aah aah aah

Aaaah aaaah

Ah ah ah

Aaaah aaaah

Aah aah aah aah

I spent a good three hours a day

Crawling around on my knees

Just to be the perfect reflection for you

Well I hope I satisfy your needs

I learned the quotes of Oscar Wilde

I memorised most of them

So you can be assured I won’t let you down

When you take me out to meet your friends

Bend me shape me

But take care you just might break me

One step forward and two steps back

I stare at the mirror and the mirror stares back

It’s saying just be yourself and act how you feel

It really isn’t such a big deal

It’s only a date

Smudges in my make-up

Slip slide in my shoes

Tryin' to keep my dignity intact

I ask «Please may I be excused»

I bought a gown from Calvin Klein

And shoes from Christian Lacroix

I’d do anything not to show you up

But I hope I haven’t gone too far

Bruise me use me

But take care you just might lose me

One step forward and two steps back

I stare at the mirror and the mirror stares back

It’s saying just look at you all flushed and confused

You shouldn’t get in such a state

It’s only a date

Aaaah aaaah

Ah ah ah

Aaaah aaaah

Aah aah aah

And then a voice cried out from the mirror

As I was standing next to the bar

Are you absolutely sure you wanna look that way?

An accesory to match with his car

Bruise me use me

(Use me like you do)

But take care you just might lose me

Bend me shake me

But take care you just don’t break me

One step forward and two steps back

I stare at the mirror and the mirror stares back

It’s saying just look at you all flushed and confused

Excuse me if I seem amused

One step forward and two steps back

I stare at the mirror and the mirror stares back

It’s saying just look at you all flushed and confused

You shouldn’t get in such a state

It’s only a date
