Lyle Lovett - Sonja lyrics

I've never been lucky At picking up women But this life that i live Is not one that i choose She was a waitress With hair blond and curly With a pretty black dress And those japanese shoes Man i need to impress her 'cause i'd like to undress her I need a song about sonja When i'm singing tonight She looked so pretty As she poured my coffee But she had her eye On my freind at the bar And i watched her watch him And i watched her thinking I wish her eye was on me Man i need to impress her 'cause i'd like to undress her I need a song about sonja When i'm singing tonight And if i could sing her A tender love ballad I'd hope that 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 sonja No i've never been lucky At picking up women But 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 sonja When you're singing tonight Sing a song about sonja When you're singing tonight
