[Verse 1]
I saw her with another man walking downtown
She's not mine and she'll never be
By my side walking downtown

[Chorus]
I only met her once before
She was alone in a back booth, a drink and a cigarette
Smoking like she was waiting for someone
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath
The next one's on me

[Verse 2]
"May I take this seat?" The rest of the bar recedes
We talked on traveling back roads overseas
"Girl, a change sounds good to me"
She said, "Who can find that kind of time?"

[Chorus]
I only met her once before
She was alone in a back booth, a drink and a cigarette
Drinkin' like she was waiting for someone
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath

[Bridge]
And after it's done
The sun comes up and she's gone
After it's done, after it's done
After it's done, you just move on
A night can't show what's made plain by the sun

[Chorus]
I only met her once before
She was alone in a back booth, a drink and a cigarette
Smoking like she was waiting for someone
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath
The next one's on me
