Try Again

[Verse 1]
Somewhere between drunkenness and chivalry
I hold the door open and let her pass through
She says, "Thanks" to me in a British accent
And I try to answer her in the same voice
She laughs at me, says, "What was that supposed to be?"
I say, "I'm sorry, I'm from a different part of the country"

[Chorus]
She says, "Come on, baby, try again
Come on, baby, try again"

[Verse 2]
Somewhere between drunkenness and sincerity
I smile at her for just a little too long
Charlie's drinking wine, Judy's laughing at him
She says, "I forget that you're such a fancy guy"
He tips his hat, says, "M'lady, do you come here often?"
I swear I've seen them do this one a hundred times before

[Chorus]
Come on, baby, try again
Come on, baby, try again

[Verse 3]
Somewhere between drunkenness and charity
She puts her hand on the sleeve of my coat
She says, "I've missed this"
I say, "I know, I've missed you, too"
She says, "I was actually talking about your coat"
She makes me laugh, oh, how she makes me laugh
I just let my head sink down and fake some deep sobs

[Chorus]
Come on, baby, try again
Come on, baby, try again

[Verse 4]
Somewhere between drunkenness and jealousy
I watch her talking to some old friend
What a reunion, he recognised her across the room
How many years could there be to catch up on?
And somewhere between drunkenness and honesty
I make a silent toast to the things that I do and don't miss

[Outro]
Come on, baby, try again
Come on, baby, try again
Come on, baby, try again
Come on, baby, try again
