Can you tell me
Why have I come?
Why am I in Chicago?
I just wanted to kiss the bride,
I didn't think I would be seeing you
Chorus:
And I had to laugh
You were shaking my hand
as if we'd never met and I
had to cry
'Cause the tears were too wet
and my eyes were too full
knowing I was forgettable
Did it ever hit you to call - no
phones in your Chicago?
There's nothing that I need to convey, just
maybe a small "hello" from LA
And I had to laugh
You were searching your head
for the right thing to say and I
had to cry
'Cause the tears were too wet
and my eyes were too full
knowing I was forgettable
I can recall every face that I have ever kissed
How did I fall on your "Miss Miscellaneous" list?
And I had to cry
There was no other way to express all my joy,
and I
had to laugh
When I thought of my fate
it was all I could do
Knowing I had escaped
from you
