Christine Lavin - Blind Dating Fun lyrics

I broke up with my baby, though it was the right thing to do It has left me languishing, so lonesome and so blue So I called up all my girlfriends, I said "Introduce me, please You've gotta know someone who's gotta have something in common with me." But how many times will I have to tell some stranger my life story Which gets longer and longer and longer the longer I live on this earth And how many times will I pretend I'm fascinated by the ordinary details Of the lives of the strangers that I've encountered on my search I'm in a Mexican restaurant with a friend of a friend of a friend (of a friend of a friend of a friend) He's been burned so many times he's scared to try again He's chain-smoking Camels, while I sip decaf tea I'm about as comfortable with him as he is with me But, how many times will he have to tell some stranger his life story Which gets longer and longer and longer the longer he lives on this earth And how many times will he pretend he's fascinated by the ordinary details of the lives of the strangers that he's encountered on his search I have put on some makeup I have combed my hair I thought this was a subway No, it's a Love Train Nothing but couples everywhere I'm standing in a museum This guy is twenty-five minutes late Patience is a virtue I have never possessed I'm giving up on this date But wait! Here he is approaching He smiles, French kisses my hand We wander around, we're gazing at paintings I can not understand So I ask a whole lot of questions, but it turns out that he hates art He thought a museum was perfect place to meet I think it is a perfect place to part Oh whoa but How many times will I have to tell some stranger my life story Which gets longer and longer and longer the longer I live on this earth And how many times will I pretend I'm fascinated by the ordinary details Of the lives of the strangers that I've encountered on my search Oh the lives of the strangers we encounter on our search
