Текст песни Suppose You Threw A Love Affair And No-One Came

All your scandal-seeking sisters long to know whose trail you're on
And the waiter keeps your table fresh with mustard, wine and tarragon
You've got sound-bites for the parasites who hang on every word
Swapping graduation photos from a school of the absurd
And your beauty knows no limits and no shame
Suppose you threw a love affair and no-one came

You've got the deep and even tan; you've got the Mona Lisa grin
And opportunity peeped through the keyhole on a day when you weren't in
So you process all the data 'til a face comes on the screen
The most beautiful contender that you have ever seen
But suppose it only brings more of the same
Suppose you threw a love affair and no-one came

Your phone still rings, your dress still clings
The noisy night still washes over you
Your eyes flash like a storm just waiting for
A court to be some damage too
And all that time is passed

Tonight's acquaintance said “goodbye” when what he really meant was “ciao”
You're such a user-friendly girl, but you could use a friend right now
'Cause you're the best-dressed local hero, feeling strung-out, feeling stupid
Crashing Belgian cigarettes and playing blind man's bluff with cupid
And it makes you want to stop and freeze the frame
Ask him to write you down some numbers and some names
You like his instinct but you still don't trust his aim
Suppose you threw a love affair and no-one came
Suppose you threw a love affair and no-one came
