lyrics

Verse 1
The lights are blinding and the music's loud
And yet I can see you standing out from the crowd.
I'm drifting towards you my throat going dry.
Getting more and more nervous feels like I'm going to die

Chorus
Will you tell me who you are and if you're on your own
Tell me what you're drinking, can I walk you home
Smiles and flirting are all good signs, tell me that I'm right
Oh I don't know where we'll end up on the Friday night

Verse 2
A quieter room and another wine
it's three o'clock we've been here since nine
We jump in a taxi and stop at your door
you ask me inside for coffee and maybe something more

Chorus
Will you tell me who you are and if you're on your own
Tell me what you're drinking, can I walk you home
Smiles and flirting are all good signs, tell me that I'm right
Oh I don't know where we'll end up on the Friday night

Verse 3
Saturday morning one more kiss and I leave
I've got your number and lipstick on my sleeve
You call me and Wednesday and end up in my bed
You're trapped inside my thoughts you're in my head

Chorus
Will you tell me who you are and if you're on your own
Tell me what you're drinking, can I walk you home
Smiles and flirting are all good signs, tell me that I'm right
Oh I don't know where we'll end up on the Friday night
