Lyle Lovett A Song About Sonya Well I never been lucky at pickin' up women. This life that I live is not one that I choose. She was a waitress, with hair blonde and curly, with a pretty black dress, and those japanese shoes. Man I need to impress her, 'cause I'd like to undress her. I need a song about Sonya 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'. I wished her eye 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.
