lyrics

STOOD ME UP - words & music by Nate Butler
I thought about it and I don't think it's alright
Then forgot about it -- so we're not gonna fight
I gave you 'til half-past-eight, though seven was already late
That's the kind of date I hate
It's understood that you shouldn't have stood me up

You figured you'd weigh it out, and cut me a deal
But I'm not in -- and I'm not out, that's not the way I feel
Not an ounce of consideration, leaving me in anticipation
That's the kind of date I hate
It's understood that you shouldn't have stood me up
The game, again, the game, the game

Suppose I see you on the town, later that night?
Cyrano, you put him down ... the ensemble's uptight
Don't wanna sound off in spite; only want to do what's right
I just hate being uptight

It's understood that you shouldn't have stood me up
The game, again, the game, the game
