Lyrics: Lyle Lovett. The Girl in The Corner.

I said howdy there lady, this sure is some party
I've never seen anything like this before
She said howdy there honey it's just barely started
If you think this is something just stand here some more

Then she looked at me, then she laughed at me
Then she lifted her glass to me and the rest they say is history

I said that girl in the corner, she looks so pretty
Oh, the girls all around her, she makes 'em look plain
Lady I need a drink, can I bring you another
I'm hoping these bubbles, they might know her name

Well she looked at me then she laughed at me
Then she handed her glass to me and the rest they say is history

But when I returned champagne in my hands
There stood two strangers, where we both did stand
And the lady was gone and the evening wore on
And the girl in the corner was never alone

But she looked at me then she smiled at me
Then she turned her eyes away from me and the rest they say is history

Tim, he was tall and Susan was smart
And Francis she looked like a fine work of art
Melissa was sad but that made her sweet
And Dan and Elaine had the world at their feet

Debra had Pliny, Lisa had Tony
And the girl in the corner she could've had anybody
Richard was cool and Tubb he was funny
And the tarot card lady she had everyone's money

So I said my goodbyes when it came time to leave
And as I walked out someone pulled at my sleeve
She said honey we never did officially meet
But I sure am happy you came

She said that girl in the corner she's more than pretty
And man you're not the first to look over her way
But if you still wanted I could introduce you
But you never will be the same

Then she looked at me
Then she laughed at me
Then she extended her hand to me
And the rest they say is histroy
