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 conveyjust

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
