The movies save on conversation
And the TV saves on sight
We met in a head-on collision
So I would say our chances would be slight
You can lead and I will follow
See us dancing cheek to cheek
You ll remember me tomorrow
But you won t give a damn by Wednesday Week
Say you love me until you do so
Joso singing just like Caruso
Three little words roll off your tongue
Somehow your face just doesn t look so young
You say you want to strike a bargain
Now there is no need to speak
You say you want to learn the jargon
But you won t give a damn by Wednesday Week
You start acting like a zombie
Someone wants your piece of cake
You think you want to jump up on me
But you won t give a damn by Wednesday Week
Oh what a letdown when the battle was finally won
One little breakdown and then it was over and done
I wish I had your confidence
It s love and not coincidence
Do you say these words to everyone ?
You re fantasticyou re terrific
Your excellence is almost scientific
You took the words out of my mouth
You put the tongue into my cheek
But I d better lose my memory by Wednesday Week
