The Girl In The Corner Lyrics by Lyle Lovett

The Girl In The Corner Lyrics

    I said howdy there lady
    This sure is some party
    I've never seen anything
    Like this before
    She said howdy there honey
    It's just barely started
    If you think this is something
    Just stand here some more

    Then she looked at me
    Then she laughed at me
    Then she lifted her glass to me
    And the rest they say is history

    I said that girl in the corner
    She looks so pretty
    Oh the girls all around her
    She makes 'em look plain
    Lady i need a drink
    Can i bring you another
    I'm hoping these bubbles
    They might know her name

    Well she looked at me
    Then she laughed at me
    Then she handed her glass to me
    And the rest they say is history

    But when i returned
    Champagne in my hands
    There stood two strangers
    Where we both did stand
    And the lady was gone
    And the evening wore on
    And the girl in the corner
    Was never alone

    But she looked at me
    Then she smiled at me
    Then she turned her eyes away from me
    And the rest they say is history

    Tim he was tall
    And susan was smart
    And francis she looked
    Like a fine work of art
    Melissa was sad
    But that made her sweet
    And dan and elaine
    Had the world at their feet

    Debra had pliny
    Lisa had tony
    And the girl in the corner
    She could've had anybody
    Richard was cool
    And tubb he was funny
    And the tarot card lady
    She had everyone's money

    So i said my goodbyes
    When it came time to leave
    And as i walked out
    Someone pulled at my sleeve
    She said honey we never did officially meet
    But i sure am happy you came

    She said that girl in the corner
    She's more than pretty
    And man you're not the first
    To look over her way
    But if you still wanted
    I could introduce you
    But you never will be the same

    Then she looked at me
    Then she laughed at me
    Then she extended her hand to me
    And the rest they say is histroy
