I Know There's No Chance
I know there's no chance
that I could take you uptown to the weekend dance.
I see you in the restaurant with your rich friends.
Why do I pretend.
I know there's no chance
that somebody like you would want me for romance.
I am just the boy who sweeps the lino floor.
Why imagine more.
The dust in this old town
can bring you down
can bring you down
and I feel low
when I must go
alone.
I know there's no chance
that they would even let me in with you to dance
so I slide the mop around at the weekend
and I just pretend.
The dust in this old town
can bring you down
can bring you down
and I feel low
when I must go
alone.
I know there's no chance
that I could take you uptown to the weekend dance.
I see you in the restaurant with your rich friends.
Why do I pretend.
