Gate Strikes One

Jandek


She picked me from the crowd
She told her girlfriends about it 
They told me she liked me 
And asked me if I liked her 
I said that I did 
Somebody asked her to dance 
She said yes, but it didn't last long 
He told me why don't I move over 
I found myself next to her 
The other ones were giving me eyes 
It seemed I liked all of them 
They all went to talk together 
When they came back they asked me if I liked her 
And I said yes 
Then she asked me if I liked her 
I said yes I did 
Her friends said bye bye, see you later 
Then she took me by the hand 
Walked me away to the other part of the place 
Looking for a private place 
We walked into the room 
And she shut the door 
We held an embrace 
I couldn't remember the last time 
She was everything I wanted to have 
I didn't care about me 
She thought I wasn't finished 
I thought I never would be 
She seemed so happy 
That was what I wanted
