Single Women

de Dolly Parton

Single Bars and Single Women
With a Single Thought in Mind
Just to Make It Till the Morning
Looking For What They Can Find
For a Man They Won't Remember
For a Night They Can't Forget
Do You Come to This Place Often?
May I Light Your Cigarette?
Drinkin' Beer in Amarillo
Passing Time and Swaping Jokes
Hoping For a New Beginning
But Beginning to Lose Hope
And You're Waiting For That Moment
When a Glance Becomes a Stare
Mmm, What's That Perfume That You're Wearing?
Haven't I Met You Somewhere?

Find a Matchbook in the Morning
With a Name and Number Scrawled
When You Phone, a Woman Answers
And You Wish You'd Never Called
Oh, They're Friendly When They Meet You
But They're Strangers When They Go
Ahh, Do You Mind If I Come Join You?
Would You Like to Dance One More?

And It's Gettin' Near to Closing
And the Seconds Pass Like Years
Lots of Friends to Share the Laughter
Not a One to Share the Tears

Oh and You Wish They'd Change That Juke Box
Cause You Know Every Song It Plays
Can I Drop You Off At My Place?
Oh, What's the Matter, Are You Gay?
You Gotta Twenty in Your Pocket
Got Your Toothbrush in Your Purse
Life Could Get a Whole Lot Better
But It Better Not Get Worse
