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 going out of style

Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see

That learning to live again is killing 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 that 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 going out of style

Look into her eyes and pray she don't see

That learning to live again is killing me

Now here we are beneath her porch light

I say what a great time it's been

A kiss on the cheek a whisper goodnight

I say can I see you again

She just smiles her best smile

She laughs like it's going out of style

Looks into my eyes and says we'll see

Oh this learning to live again is killing me

God this learning to live again is killing me
