Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Happened to pass your doorway
Gave you a buzz, that's all
Lately I though lots about you
So I thought I'd pay a social call
[Verse 2]
Do you recall the old days
We used to have a ball
Not that I'm lonesome without you
I just thought I'd pay a social call
[Verse 3]
I thought I'd say things are just swell
But to tell the truth
I haven't been so well
And if you should try to kiss me
I promise that I won't stall
Maybe we'll get back together
Starting from this incidental, elemental, simple social call
[Verse 4]
Do you remember all the good times that we had, my baby girl?
I'll never forget you've got the greatest smile in the world, oh
My sugar plum fairy, don't hold a grudge
I simply have to say hello once more
[Verse 5]
And am I insane or do I really see a world where you and I could be
Together forever, wait buttercup, don't slam the door in my face
Unless your really wanna spill my heart all over the place
[Verse 6]
Oh, I guess its probably just been a long, long time
Since we've hung out like this
I'm trying to break my habit of you
But since we were back together I suppose we should try to start anew
[Verse 7]
Dear, what do you say?
Oh, I can't take it
My heart is breakin'
I'm laying it on the line
If you can find it in your mind that there is just a little
Itsy-bitsy chance that you might miss me
Let's give it a whirl
[Verse 8]
Baby, we've played this game a thousand million times
I should throw your heart in jail for all of it's crimes
You say that you love me and I think that it's true
Why should I just sit at home a-waitin' for you?
[Verse 9]
When we're together it's always stormy weather
And I really feel like sittin' on a beach with you out of reach
Whenever you smirk I get weak in the knees
But if you're a jerk I'll tune out all of your pleas
[Verse 10]
Well, I suppose just one drink couldn't hurt
But just one, nothing more
I'm on to all of your tricks
Boy, if you slip up, I'll show you the door
[Verse 11]
I must be crazy 'cause I'm coming around
But if you do me wrong I'll run you out of this town
I guess I could give you one more chance now
To prove you're the man who can love me everyday
And never leave my side ever again
[Verse 12]
And if you should try to kiss me, baby
I promise I won't stall
Maybe, we'll get back together
Starting from this incidental, elemental, simple social call
