I've Slipped Her Mind - Robert Cray

I lit two brand-new candles

Set two glasses out for wine

Two hours ago

She was due here anytime

I’m starting to believe

I’ve slipped her mind

Friday night she’s coming

Got the date circled in red

I’ve planned this night all day

High hopes, high hopes

Running through my head

Had big plans for love and romance

Ohhh, and I got the blues instead

Both candles just burned out

I sip the wine till it’s gone

Called her place all evening

But the phone rings on and on

Two hours ago

She was due here any time

And I’m starting to believe, yeah

Ohhh, I’ve slipped her mind

Both candles just burned out

Drank the wine till it’s gone

Called her place all evening

The phone rings on and on

Two hours ago

She was due here any time

And I believe, I believe, I believe

I’ve slipped her mind

I believe, I believe

Ohhhh, that I’ve slipped her mind

Ohhh, no, no

Don’t tell me that this is it

I’ve planned this night all day, baby

How can you be so cold to Young Bob?

No, no, no, no

No, two hours ago

And it’s been five

No, no

I can’t take this anymore

I’m just about to give up on the whole damn thing

No, no
