I lit two brand-new candles 
Set two glasses out for wine 

Two hours ago 
She was due here anytime 
I'm starting to believe 
I've slipped her mind 

Friday night she's coming 
Got the date circled in red 

I've planned this night all day 
High hopes, high hopes 
Running through my head 

Had big plans for love and romance 
Ohhh, and I got the blues instead 

Both candles just burned out 
I sip the wine till it's gone 
Called her place all evening 
But the phone rings on and on 

Two hours ago 
She was due here any time 

And I'm starting to believe, yeah 
Ohhh, I've slipped her mind 

Both candles just burned out 
Drank the wine till it's gone 
Called her place all evening 
The phone rings on and on 

Two hours ago 
She was due here any time 

And I believe, I believe, I believe 
I've slipped her mind 

I believe, I believe 
Ohhhh, that I've slipped her mind 

Ohhh, no, no 
Don't tell me that this is it 
I've planned this night all day, baby 

How can you be so cold to Young Bob? 

No, no, no, no 
No, two hours ago 
And it's been five 
No, no 
I can't take this anymore 
I'm just about to give up on the whole damn thing 
No, no
