Lyrics
PLAY ME A SONG IN THREE QUARTER TIME M.Evans/L.Flowers/L.Medill
My buddies and me are the house band
Here in this smoky old bar
We do our best to play the requests
For tips people put in the jar
One night this guy walks up hands me twenty bucks
And says Man can you slow things right down
CHORUS :
Play me a song in three quarter time
I want to hold her and look in her eyes
So she can see I?m the right guy
Play me a song in three quarter time
He told me his baby was leaving
To take a new job in LA
She?s tired of this town there?s nothing around
She can?t think of a reason to stay
He said I never told her I loved her
But tonight that?s all gonna change
CHORUS :
Play me a song in three quarter time
She needs to know how hard I?m tryin?
I want to show her I?m the right guy
Play me a song in three quarter time
Bridge :
The crowd started getting impatient
He saw his girl on her way out
He turned back to me and said please mister please
You?ve got to count it in now
CHORUS :
Play me a song in three quarter time
I just need three minutes to change her mind
Then she?s gonna know I?m the right guy
Play me a song in three quarter time
Play me a song in three quarter time
