A Bottle of Wine

She looked straigth at me Her dog sniffed me I followed her home I thought I did all right I was invited to dinner She was a widow Out from her shell I thought I did all right A dinner for two I bought a bottle of wine Dressed well, indeed I thought I did all right Had I known it was a family dinner Then I would have bought a different bottle of wine Not a dark red, lilac label, «SEXY» in large letters I thought I did all right She hadn’t told them about me I was placed in her husband’s chair Holding that bottle in her hand I thought I did all right She wanted to let them know I might be sitting there Early a Sunday morning I thought I did all right I think her dog Still thinks me all right That dark red bottle, lilac label, «SEXY» in large letters To big a surprise for her family
