Can you tell me
Why have I come?
Why am I in Chicago?
I just wanted to kiss the bride,
I didn't think I would be seeing you

And I had to laugh
You were shaking my hand
As if we'd never met and I
Had to cry
'Cause the tears were too wet
And my eyes were too full
Knowing I was forgettable

Did it ever hit you to call - no
Phones in your Chicago?
There's nothing that I need to convey, just
Maybe a small hello from LA

And I had to laugh
You were searching your head
For the right thing to say and I
Had to cry
'Cause the tears were too wet
And my eyes were too full
Knowing I was forgettable

I can recall every face that I have ever kissed
How did I fall on your Miss Miscellaneous list?

And I had to cry
There was no other way to express all my joy,
And I
Had to laugh
When I thought of my fate
It was all I could do
Knowing I had escaped
From you
