What You Could've Won - Milburn

It’s closing time and it’s getting late

Can you fetch my coat?

'Cause I don’t feel too great

Anymore, but I want to stay

Oh, don’t you want to stay as well?

I don’t think that you do

I’ve got this funny feeling that you don’t feel like I do

This conversation’s just passing you by

I know it, I can see it in your eyes

You’ve had one too many, lo and behold

You’re tellin' the secrets that can’t be told

You feel so special, it feels so bold

But then you knock me back and I fall

I fall to the floor

And all I wanted was a kiss

All I wanted was a chance tonight

I’m walking home, I’ve pissed and I’m frozen

My mind’s been warmed up by that little token of you

In your little ways

Still, they’re sleepin' in your bed today

And now beeps the phone

I fumble ‘round to answer, but I end up puttin' it on hold

Late night taxis keep passin' me by

I feel sick and look to the sky

I’ve had one too many, lo and behold

The late night lovers stay out in the cold

I ring your number, I feel so bold

You kick me into touch and I fall

I fall to the floor

But all I wanted was a kiss

All I wanted was a chance tonight

But yeah, your ignorance was bliss

Yeah, your ignorance was paradise

So just give me a chance

Just give me a sign or something

To tell me what you want

'Cause before too long there’ll be somebody else

It’s then that you’ll know that you wanted more

You call out my name, but I fail to respond

Now it knocks you back in the floor

You fall to the floor

You’re not just a number

Upon a computer

Or a waiting list

You’re not just a number

Upon a computer

Or a shopping list
