Had To

Can you tell me why have I come?
Why am I in Chicago?
I just wanted to kiss the bride
I didn't think I would be seeing you

And I had to laugh
You were shaking my hand as if we'd never met
And I had to cry
'Cause the tears were too wet and my eyes were too full
Knowing I was forgettable

Did it ever hit you to call? -
No phones in your Chicago?
There's nothing that I need to convey
Just maybe a small "hello" frmo LA

And I had to laugh
You were searching your head for the right thing to say
And I had to cry
'Cause the tears were too wet and my eyes were too full
Knowing I was forgettable

I can recall every face that I have ever kissed
How did I fall on your "Miss Miscellaneous" list?

And I had to cry
There was no other way to express all my joy
And I had to laugh
When i thought of my fate, it was all I could do
Knowing I had escaped from you
