[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
You’re dancin' at our favorite bar,
And that guy thinks that he'll get far.
He pulls you in a bit too close,
But you just smile, 'cause he don't know.
You let him think he’s read it right,
But he ain't noticed yet tonight
That your eyes keep driftin’ back to mine,
Like you’re checkin’ in from time to time.
[Chorus]
When I saw you walkin' off the floor,
I could tell that he was wantin' more.
Then as you sat there and flashed that smile,
He thought he had you there for awhile.
He's thinkin' since he got a dance,
Tonight he just might have a chance,
But he ain't seen what I got to see,
When you turned your head and winked at me.
[Verse 2]
The band starts up another song,
But I just watch and play along.
You dance as if you don't see me,
As I sit and watch you patiently.
I lean back as we both pretend,
That we don't know how this will end.
He's havin' fun, there ain't no doubt,
But it's been me you've been checkin' out.
[Chorus]
When I saw you walkin' off the floor,
I could tell that he was wantin' more.
Then as you sat there and flashed that smile,
He thought he had you there for awhile.
He's thinkin' since he got a dance,
Tonight he just might have a chance,
But he ain't seen what I got to see,
When you turned your head and winked at me.
[Bridge]
Go have your fun 'til closin’ time,
'Cause I know soon that you'll be mine.
I know he'll enjoy this memory,
But tonight you're goin' home with me.
[Chorus]
When I saw you walkin' off the floor,
I could tell that he was wantin' more.
Then as you sat there and flashed that smile,
He thought he had you there for awhile.
He's thinkin' since he got a dance,
Tonight he just might have a chance,
But he ain't seen what I got to see,
When you turned your head and winked at me.
