the aftermath

Singer: bob seger

dressed up to the nines

dancin' three-quarter time

the champagne is on ice

no one's gonna guess

in your brand new dress

girl

you sure look nice

have a good time

honey

don't look back

stone in the middle of the aftermath

don't wink

don't blink

don't let `em think

his leavin's got you down

stand straight

hang tough

when they bring it up

baby hold your ground

if they pry

don't sigh

pass it off with a laugh

it's all part of living through the aftermath

you can do it honey

keep that smile so sunny

you can show them what they want to see

yes

you can

it's a cold

hard scene

the singles thing

losers everywhere

and it hurts to the bone

headin' home alone

when someone used to be there

so you take a few falls

and you learn to bounce back

it's all part of living through the aftermath

living through the aftermath

baby

don't look back

it's the aftermath
