I burned my hand, i cut my face
heaven knows how long it's been
since i've felt so out of place
i'm wonderin' if i'll fit in
Debbie and charley said they'd be here by nine
and deb said she might bring a friend
just my luck, they're right on time
so here i go again
I'm gonna smile my best smile
and i'm gonna laugh like it's goin' outta style
look into her eyes and pray that she don't see
that learning to live again is killin' me
Little cafe', table for four
but there's just conversation for three
i like the way she let me get the door
i wonder what she thinks of me
Debbie just whispered, "you're doin' fine"
and i wish i felt the same
she's asked me to dance, now her hand's in mine
oh, my god, i've forgotten her name
But i'm gonna smile my best smile
and i'm gonna laugh like it's goin' outta style
look into her eyes and pray that she don't see
that learnin' to live again is killin' me
Now here we are beneath her porch light
and i say what a great time it's been
a kiss on the cheek, a whisper goodnight
and i say, "can i see you again?"
And she just smiles her best smile
and she laughs like it's goin' outta style
looks into my eyes and says, "we'll see"
oh, this learnin' to love again is killin' me
god, this learnin' to live again is killin' me
