Thom Quick - My Career Lyrics

Uh-huh... Bumped in to her Friday night, lookin' like a lovely sight, wish I was all alone
But I came in here with another - old enough to be my mother, too late to run her home
So I waited till the coast was clear, made my move, spilled my beer: Déjà vu twilight-zone
Tease me once, tease me right

Made my break, the "great escape", feeling good, I knew I would, then I found her on the phone
She was tellin' lies to other guys, wasting time, mostly mine: Best she's on her own
And I went up to her, "thought I knew her", talkin' fast and feeling last; met her up front and close
She said: Just one more minute and I'll be through
You're just the guy I want to know
But, if you move too fast, then I say no! - Uh-huh

Time had passed I thought at last I'd win a friend in the end, she'd be mine all mine
There's no change in plans, understand - long black hair, everywhere, boy, she moves so fine
And I waited till the lights were dim, turned around, saw her grin, then I thought: Love at first sight
She said: You treat me right boy, and I just might
I heard the words but they're not clear
What can you do for my career

So tell me... Just what's a girl like you doin' stuck in this place
We all know that "girls like you" are being chased at twice the price and the pace! Oh

Tell me why you pass on by makin' eyes at other guys; must I take out a loan
Make the deal, spinnin' wheel, grindin' down, one more round - Gonna' cut me to the bone
Watch the fights, see the sights, pink champagne, what's your name
By the way, you sure look nice

I heard the words, but they're not clear
She said: What can you do for my career
You're just a "girl" I want to know
Push me once, push me twice ... Then, I say no
What can I do for your career

Shallower than I am
