Song About Sonya

Lyle Lovett

 C
Well I never been lucky
 FC
at pickin' up women.
 FC
This life that I live
 D7G
is not one that I choose.

 FC
 She was a waitress,
 FC
with hair blonde and curly,
 FC
with a pretty black dress,
 GC
and those japanese shoes.

(Chorus):

 G
  Man I need to impress her,
 FC
  'cause I'd like to undress her.
 FC
  I need a song about Sonya
 GC
  when I'm singin' tonight.

Well she looked so pretty
as she poured my coffee,
but she had her eye
on my friend at the bar.

And I watched her watch him,
and I watched her thinkin'.
 FG
 I wished her eye
 C
was on me.

(Chorus)

And if I could sing her
a tender love ballad,
I'd hope the audience
might sing along.

But I can't find the right way
to tell her my feelings,
and still make the words
rhyme with Sonya.

I never been lucky
at pickin up women
This life that I live
is not one that I choose.

She was a waitress.
Now she's gone forever,
and I'm stuck with this song
that I never will use.

Man you need to impress her
if you want to undress her.
Sing a song about Sonya
when you're singin' tonight
Sing a song about Sonya
when you're singin' tonight.
