Sonja — текст песни (Lyle Lovett)

Ive never been lucky

At picking up women

But this life that I live

Is not one that I choose

She was a waitress

With hair blond and curly

With a pretty black dress

And those japanese shoes



Man I need to impress her

cause Id like to undress her

I need a song about sonja

When Im singing tonight



She looked so pretty

As she poured my coffee

But she had her eye

On my freind at the bar

And I watched her watch him

And I watched her thinking

I wish her eye was on me



Man I need to impress her

cause Id like to undress her

I need a song about sonja

When Im singing tonight



And if I could sing her

A tender love ballad

Id hope that the audience might sing along

But I cant find the right way

To tell her my feelings

And still make the words rhyme with sonja



No Ive never been lucky

At picking up women

But this life that I live

Is not one that I choose

She was a waitress

Now shes gone forever

And Im stuck with this song

That I never will use



Man you need to impress her

If you want to undress her

Sing a song about sonja

When youre singing tonight

Sing a song about sonja

When youre singing tonight
