I was unattached
He was quite a catch, with a nose ring
Serves coffee on the side
Looks handsome in a tie and he knows it
Step into my taxi
Pull away, he's waving at me

I can dress it up pretty
I can blame it on cities

But he doesn't want me
He doesn't want me
When it comes to it
Really the truth is
Oh no, he doesn't want me
And I know that I could pretend
But it's one down
And it's back to daydreams again

Sometimes you can try
Do everything just right, make him notice
Cue the moon and stars
I wait outside the bar, in a nice dress
Maybe it just slipped his mind
Maybe he was working late tonight

I can dress it up pretty
I can blame it on cities

But he doesn't want me
He doesn't want me
When it comes to it
Really the truth is
Oh no, he doesn't want me
And I know that I could pretend
But it's one down
And it's back to daydreams again

Ooh (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh, ooh

Funny when it rains
You can never catch a train
On the red line
You step in from the storm
A stranger holds the door
And it's spring time
