In a little dance hall just outside of dallas I dropped my drink when she came walking by By the time I got a grip She slipped through my fingertips And left me with my big mouth open wide Chorus: I should've asked her faster But I waited too long In a red hot minute Like a flash she was gone I didn't get her number I never got her name A natural disaster I should've asked her faster She was talking to some cowboy in the corner My one last chance to ask her on the floor And just when I got the nerve I got just what I deserve As I watched him waltzing her right out the door Repeat Chorus Bridge: Well there she goes, I just missed Don't take no rocket scientist To figure out, when I go home I'll be there all alone Repeat Chorus
