i've slipped her mind

i lit two brand-new candles

set two glasses out for wine

two hours ago

she was due here anytime

i'm starting to believe

i've slipped her mind

friday night she's coming

got the date circled in red

i've planned this night all day

high hopes

high hopes

running through my head

had big plans for love and romance

ohhh

and i got the blues instead

both candles just burned out

i sip the wine till it's gone

called her place all evening

but the phone rings on and on

two hours ago

she was due here any time

and i'm starting to believe

yeah

ohhh

i've slipped her mind

both candles just burned out

drank the wine till it's gone

called her place all evening

the phone rings on and on

two hours ago

she was due here any time

and i believe

i believe

i believe

i've slipped her mind

i believe

i believe

ohhhh

that i've slipped her mind

ohhh

i've planned this night all day
