The Date Lyrics & Chords By Cathy Dennis

Aaaah aaaah
Ah ah ah
Aaaah aaaah
Aah aah aah

Aaaah aaaah
Ah ah ah
Aaaah aaaah
Aah aah aah aah

I spent a good three hours a day
Crawling around on my knees
Just to be the perfect reflection for you
Well I hope I satisfy your needs

I learned the quotes of Oscar Wilde
I memorised most of them
So you can be assured I won't let you down
When you take me out to meet your friends

Bend me shape me
But take care you just might break me
One step forward and two steps back
I stare at the mirror and the mirror stares back
It's saying just be yourself and act how you feel
It really isn't such a big deal
It's only a date

Smudges in my make-up
Slip slide in my shoes
Tryin' to keep my dignity intact
I ask "Please may I be excused"

I bought a gown from Calvin Klein
And shoes from Christian Lacroix
I'd do anything not to show you up
But I hope I haven't gone too far

Bruise me use me
But take care you just might lose me
One step forward and two steps back
I stare at the mirror and the mirror stares back
It's saying just look at you all flushed and confused
You shouldn't get in such a state
It's only a date

Aaaah aaaah
Ah ah ah
Aaaah aaaah
Aah aah aah

And then a voice cried out from the mirror
As I was standing next to the bar
Are you absolutely sure you wanna look that way?
An accesory to match with his car.

Bruise me use me
(Use me like you do)
But take care you just might lose me
Bend me shake me
But take care you just don't break me

One step forward and two steps back
I stare at the mirror and the mirror stares back
It's saying just look at you all flushed and confused.
Excuse me if I seem amused.

One step forward and two steps back
I stare at the mirror and the mirror stares back
It's saying just look at you all flushed and confused.
You shouldn't get in such a state
It's only a date
