Flirting with Disaster

First Date

Our first date was pretty standard

He took me out for food

We didn’t talk much during dinner

For fear we’d say something crude

Then we shared some drinks

To get us loosened up

Jack and Jim were oh so sweet

So we had another cup

Next we went out dancing

Rocked it out behind the bar

All those moves he showed me,

Well they got him pretty far

The higher that you get

The harder you can fall

But I guess that’s the risk you take

When you want to have it all

We danced into the alley

After almost everyone had gone

His eyes were saying yes

Though I knew that it was wrong

Then he slipped me something small

It was a little yellow pill

He said “I will make your dreams come true,

I promise you, I will”

The higher that you get

The harder you can fall

But I guess that’s the risk you take

When you want to have it all

As he walked me to my car

He asked about a kiss

As my head started to spin

I forced myself to resist

As I said goodbye

I told him he was sweet

He said “Baby, you have no idea

How wonderful I can be”

The higher that you get

The harder you can fall

But if you never take a chance

You will miss out on it all
