Had To

Can you tell me

Why have I come?

Why am I in Chicago?

I just wanted to kiss the bride,

I didn't think I would be seeing you

And I had to laugh

You were shaking my hand

as if we'd never met and I

had to cry

'Cause the tears were too wet

and my eyes were too full

knowing I was forgettable

Did it ever hit you to call - no

phones in your Chicago?

There's nothing that I need to convey, just

maybe a small "hello" from LA

And I had to laugh

You were searching your head

for the right thing to say and I

had to cry

'Cause the tears were too wet

and my eyes were too full

knowing I was forgettable

I can recall every face that I have ever kissed

How did I fall on your "Miss Miscellaneous" list?

And I had to cry

There was no other way to express all my joy,

and I

had to laugh

When I thought of my fate

it was all I could do

Knowing I had escaped

from you
