Cotton Candy - Robben Ford

Cotton Candy

With a racy line

Drinks were handy

Across the county line

Super sexy

And no promise to fill

You would have thought someone had slipped me a pill

And would have dropped dead if her looks could kill

But the clock stopped ticking and against my will

I’m left looking at taillights

Waving goodbye to Irene

On my shoulder

With a girlish grin

Me thinking out loud

Honey where you been

Said I’ve been right here

With no place to go

Seemed so righteous that I couldn’t say no

I’m booked for heaven see you later below

But the lights came up and there wasn’t no show

All aglow in her taillights

Waving goodbye to Irene

She would tease me

Then she’d squeeze me

Knew she could please me

But goodbye came

And only Irene to blame

You know the story… fellas

You been there before

You know the story… girls

Know how to find the door

It’s nothing personal

It’s not about my pride

But if seen again, won’t let her run and hide

Cuztime this time, it won’t on my side

Take her by the hand and take her for a ride

Drop her off at sunrise

And wave goodbye to Irene
