Stuart Davis - Amsterdam lyrics

You met her on the airplane As I waved goodbye in a teary blur You pulled some strings The stewardess sat you next to her In a gentle voice With an affecting tone You touched her hand on the armrest Over the first time zone Crossing oceans Will break down boundaries, won't it? Like any worldly man You knew that and you seized the moment While I was feeling sick Trying not to miss her At the terminal in Amsterdam You grabbed her and you kissed her But don't overestimate how wounded I should be She pretended you were me Yea, she told me about you No, she never hid it Now I've calmed back down And I'm glad you did it It's common knowledge How comforting a surrogate can be If it's comfort she needed, Thanks for standing in as me That's a hero's instinct To which all men are true And if I ever meet your girlfriend I'm gonna do the same for you While I was feeling sick Trying not to miss her At the terminal in Amsterdam You grabbed her and you kissed her But don't overestimate how jealous I should be She pretended you were me You never realized how lucky you could be, Till she pretended you were me
