Well I never been lucky
at pickin' up women.
This life that I live
is not one that I choose.
She was a waitress,
with hair blonde and curly,
with a pretty black dress,
and those japanese shoes.
(Chorus):
Man I need to impress her,
'cause I'd like to undress her.
I need a song about Sonya
when I'm singin' tonight.
Well she looked so pretty
as she poured my coffee,
but she had her eye
on my friend at the bar.
And I watched her watch him,
and I watched her thinkin'.
I wished her eye
was on me.
(Chorus)
And if I could sing her
a tender love ballad,
I'd hope the audience
might sing along.
But I can't find the right way
to tell her my feelings,
and still make the words
rhyme with Sonya.
I never been lucky
at pickin up women
This life that I live
is not one that I choose.
She was a waitress.
Now she's gone forever,
and I'm stuck with this song
that I never will use.
Man you need to impress her
if you want to undress her.
Sing a song about Sonya
when you're singin' tonight
Sing a song about Sonya
when you're singin' tonight.
