Was It Something I Said? - Brandon Flowers

Me and Valentina went down to the chapel, but the gates were shut

I had my vows in my pocket and a gold plated ring for my honey love

We headed down Tropicana to the corner with the late night restaurant

We sat across from each other, when I looked in her eyes there was something

gone

Was it something that I said or did?

Was it something that I should have kept hidden?

If you leave me hanging, I don’t know what I’ll do

It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right

In the clear of the blue moonlight

You got me on my knees, Valentina, this is not like you

I got a job at the Nugget and I saved a thousand dollars for a brand new start

She said, «I didn’t want to do it, but I did it 'cause I didn’t want to break

your heart»

The waiter whispered when he said we had to take the conversation to the

parking lot

Please baby, please, Valentina, baby, you’re the only thing I got

Was it something that I said or did?

Was it something that I should have kept hidden?

If you leave me hanging, I don’t know what I’ll do

It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right

In the clear of the blue moonlight

You got me on my knees, Valentina, this is not like you

I hear church bells ringing in my head and I take 'em everywhere I go

Valentina met a dealer and I heard they had a baby five months ago

Was it something that I said or did?

Was it something that I should have kept hidden?

If you leave me hanging, I don’t know what I’ll do

It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right

In the clear of the blue moonlight

You got me on my knees, Valentina, don’t say it’s true

This is not like you
