"Cotton Candy" lyrics - ROBBEN FORD

Cotton candy with a racy line
Drinks were handy across the county line
Super sexy and no promise to fill

You would have thought someone had slipped me a pill
And would have dropped dead if her looks could kill
But the clock stopped ticking and against my will
I'm left looking at taillights waving goodbye to Irene

On my shoulder with a girlish grin
Me thinking out loud honey where you been
Said I've been right here with no place to go

Seemed so righteous that I couldn't say no
I'm booked for heaven see you later below
But the lights came up and there wasn't no show
All aglow in her taillights waving goodbye to Irene

[Bridge:]
She would tease me then she'd squeeze me
Knew she could please me
But goodbye came and only Irene to blame

You know the story, fellows you been there before
You know the story, girls know how to find the door
It's nothing personal, it's not about my pride

But if seen again, won't let her run and hide
'Cause time this time, it won't be on my side
Take her by the hand and take her for a ride
Drop her off at sunrise and wave goodbye to Irene
