Conventioneers Lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

Conventioneers Lyrics

    You walked into the room
    And the whole place stopped to notice
    Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
    I've never been ashamed of my attraction
    I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction
    As we danced, I could see in your eyes
    You and me as senior citizens in love

    I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
    Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble
    You, stationed in the warm glow of the t.v.
    Too patient as I'm playing L(1)O(1)V(4)E(1)

    And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh
    And we have to or we'll end up in the bath

    Now we're in the bath, I'm already thinking marriage
    I know that in the past it was something I'd disparage
    You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
    We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
    Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
    And I guess I'll see you Monday like before

    Before all the fireworks exploded
    Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
    Now what can we say?
    Have a nice day
    Looks like rain today...

    Now I'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment
    Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
    Now I've landed in this awkward situation
    How can I just avoid a conversation?
    So I wait, come in late. It'd be great
    If you transferred out of state
