SINGLE WOMEN
Dolly Parton

Single bars and single women
With a single thought in mind
Just to make it till 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?
Drinkin? beer in amarillo
Passing time and swaping 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
Ahh, do you mind if I come join you?
Would you like to dance one more?

And it?s gettin? 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 juke box
Cause you know every song it plays
Can I drop you off at my place?
Oh, what?s the matter, are you gay?
You gotta 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 till the morning
Looking for what they can find
