17th  Chicago
In the dim light from the television screen
I saw you on the couch lookin' at me
Batting your eyes oh so playfully, I want ya
And I walked over there and got on my knees
And I looked up at you still lookin' at me
And I told you I was eternally grateful to God
For a woman like you, I turned over new
I'd kick the old habits like sniffin' glue
And just sitting around smokin' with nothing to do

Honey, I got a phone call late last night
It was from an old friend who got in a fight with his wife
Of almost ten years
He said he needed a drink and a place to sleep
So he came on in and started countin' sheep that night
Oh, he dreamed of their wedding day
He had two little kids when the storm rolled in
Took them by surprise, they never were the same again
Aw, but what was so good back then

In the dim light of the television screen
I saw you on the couch looking at me
Batting your eyes so playfully, I want you...
