Gate Strikes One Lyrics - Jandek

She picked me from the crowd 

She told her girlfriends about it 

They told me she liked me 

And asked me if I liked her 

I said that I did 

Somebody asked her to dance 

She said yes, but it didn't last long 

He told me why don't I move over 

I found myself next to her 

The other ones were giving me eyes 

It seemed I liked all of them 

They all went to talk together 

When they came back they asked me if I liked her 

And I said yes 

Then she asked me if I liked her 

I said yes I did 

Her friends said bye bye, see you later 

Then she took me by the hand 

Walked me away to the other part of the place 

Looking for a private place 

We walked into the room 

And she shut the door 

We held an embrace 

I couldn't remember the last time 

She was everything I wanted to have 

I didn't care about me 

She thought I wasn't finished 

I thought I never would be 

She seemed so happy 

That was what I wanted
