City Boy - Dinner At The Ritz Lyrics
Do you think that we could risk an evening at the Ritz!Another shabby hotel room would really blitz my ego.Why must we meet like this! Sharing illicit kissesYou turn a blind eye to the fact that your leaving my heart in pieces.I know a little cafe noir where we can sit and count the starsWe can stay till the early hours, supposing of course they allow usAnd when they play "As Time Goes By" memories seem to hide hereAnd while the world is deep in slumber we'll dance the the eternal rumba.Won't you come away with meLeave it all behindThere's a happy ending somewherebetween the lines...What more can you ask of me, yet another Penthouse suite!Going through my dimes and quarters, slipping away like water.So through her expensive tastes your pockets have gone to wasteAnd I can tell by the way you lie there you're only a paper tiger.No more early mornings as I gaze in Your eyesNo more hidden kisses and sleepy lullabies...I'm constantly aware of the things we can never shareAt the stork club some chic little pub that I could never afford...But I wish that I could bare your ultra feminine flairFor your accent on current events over dinner drives me spare...Dinner at the Ritz, I'd be pleased to make an appointmentI'll be at your door an hour before we arranged(Repeated)
