The Girl I Can't Forget Lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

Well, she picked me up in a German car 

And she took me out to an Irish bar 

Where I drank some beer in a plastic cup 

Till I had some trouble standing up 

And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit place 

Where all wore the guys wore chains and the thumping bass 

Was so intense I could barely feel my face 

And I think I asked her back to my place 

But that's all I recall 

And when I woke up in the hall 

I was alone and softly groaning 

And I'd lost my keys and lost my phone 

And I wondered what I did or said 

That I might soon regret 

It was the night I can't remember 

With the girl I can't forget 

Well, I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin 

The next evening when my friends walked in 

And when I asked them if they knew where I'd been 

They didn't speak at first, they only grinned 

You see, I'm not the type to get in fights 

But that might not have been the case last night 

Because they heard that I had a word or two 

With a man who asked "Is she with you?" 

And if I took it the wrong way 

I guess that's not for me to say 

Though it seems I might have slipped up 

When I offered him some grooming tips 

But at least that helps explain 

The cuts and bruises on my head 

>From the night I can't remember 

With the girl I can't forget 

And it's all coming back now 

Don't know how to react now 

Guess I'll let it go 

I'm not so sure I want to know 

Well, I was back at work at 9:15 

When a message popped up on my screen 

It said "Pick me up at 8:45, 

and we can give it one more try" 

And now that I'm with her 

The whole thing seems a bit absurd 

Though she never fails to tell the tale 

Of the time she had to post my bail 

And for giving me a second chance 

I'm forever in her debt 

Since the night I can't remember 

She's the girl, 

I won't ever forget
