(verse 2) 
In waltzed a long haired beauty,  
We're all prayin' that she's unattached, 
I felt a chill go straight through me,  
I've never seen a smile like that, 
I ain't worried about Bill or Darryl,  
They're both wearing their wedding bands,           
The rest of us are fish in a barrel, 
She could have her pick but understand, 
 
(bridge) 
She can't save us all from the lonely lives we lead, F
So bartender will you send her a drink,  
Tell her it's from me, cause it's,
