Dolly Parton — Single Women

Single bars and single women With a single thought in mind Just to make it 'til the morning Looking for what they can find For a man they won't remember For a night they can't forget Do you come to this place often? May I light your cigarette? Drinking beer in Amarillo Passing time and swapping jokes Hoping for a new beginning But beginning to lose hope And you're waiting for that moment When a glance becomes a stare Mmm, what's that perfume that you're wearing? Haven't I met you somewhere? Find a matchbook in the morning With a name and number scrawled When you phone, a woman answers And you wish you'd never called Oh, they're friendly when they meet you But they're strangers when they go Do you mind if I come join you? Would you like to dance one more? And it's getting near to closing And the seconds pass like years Lots of friends to share the laughter Not a one to share the tears Oh and you wish they'd change that jukebox 'Cause you know every song it plays Can I drop you off at my place? Oh, what's the matter? Are you gay? You got a twenty in your pocket Got your toothbrush in your purse Life could get a whole lot better But it better not get worse Single bars and single women With a single thought in mind Just to make it 'til the morning Looking for what they can find
