The Aftermath

Bob Seger


Dressed up to the nines 
Dancin' three-quarter time 
The champagne is on ice 
No one's gonna guess 
In your brand new dress 
Girl, you sure look nice 
Have a good time 
Honey, don't look back 
Stone in the middle of the aftermath 
Don't wink, don't blink 
Don't let `em think 
His leavin's got you down 
Stand straight, hang tough 
When they bring it up 
Baby hold your ground 
If they pry, don't sigh 
Pass it off with a laugh 
It's all part of living through the aftermath 
You can do it honey 
Keep that smile so sunny 
You can show them what they want to see 
Yes, you can 
It's a cold, hard scene 
The singles thing 
Losers everywhere 
And it hurts to the bone 
Headin' home alone 
When someone used to be there 
So you take a few falls 
And you learn to bounce back 
It's all part of living through the aftermath 
Living through the aftermath 
Baby, don't look back 
It's the aftermath
