One Thing Left

Edwin McCain

She walked in, I tipped my hat

She said, "Boy don't you look at me like that"



And I said, "No, you know I got no game"

"Oh, but you can love me just the same"



She said "Boy, my mama told me all about boys like you"

"You talk so sweet then you leave me blue"

"Is that what you think you're about to do"



I said, "No, I'm just sittin' here singing a song"

"Don't want to do nobody wrong"

"You'll find out before long"



Tonight's just all about having fun

Maybe I'll see you when it's done

We'll talk about things that are making you blue



Till there's one thing left to do



She sat down right in front of the stage

And everybody was so amazed



Put a cigarette right between her lips

Before she could light it, the sax man shot right from the hip



She said, "No, my mama told me all about boys like him"

"Walking around with that sly grin"

"All he wants is a night of sin"



Tonight's just all about having fun

Maybe I'll see you when it's done

We'll talk about what's been making you blue



Till there's one thing left to do



And I just need some conversation

And I won't tell too many lies



I know it's a sticky situation

But I think I saw that twinkle in your eyes



Tonight's just all about having fun

Maybe I'll see you when it's done

We'll talk about what's making you blue



Till there's one thing left to do



Well we played till the police closed us down

Drank our drinks till the morning came around



She said, "Boy, everything you told me was true"

"I forgot about my blues, what are you going to do"



I said, "My mama told me all about girls like you"

"Talk a big game and then you leave me blue"

"Is that what you think you're about to do"



She said, "No, I never met a man that's quite like you"

"I think I'm gonna let my mama do the worrying too"

"What you gonna do"



You know tonight was so much fun

And I hate to see it's done

I forgot all my blues



Now there's one thing left to do
