Hotel Room 417 Lyrics - Jane Siberry

Hey baby, I'm in town and I thought I'd give you a call 

Maybe we could get together, have dinner, go to a show 

Maybe go to a museum, an art gallery 

Get to know each other, slowly, over time, don't be nervous, baby 

I'm not 

And, no, thanks 

Hotel du Vie, how can I help you? 

Room 417, please 

Yeah? 

Hi, I'm coming down to your hotel 

We've got to talk, buy condoms 

I'm startin' at zero 

I've come to your hotel room looking like a boy 

No makeup, my hair's a mess, I don't want to be coy 

I'm here to present something to you 

And to see how you feel about it 

It's now or we're through, I'm not looking to make friends 

I'm not interested in who you are or getting to know you 

Going to art galleries or museums 

I just want to know if we can make good loving together 

And get out of here if we can't 

I find that time is just speeding by 

And I just don't have time for having my time speedin' by 

And thieves keep eatin' my time 

I'm startin' at zero 

So how do you feel about it? 

How do you feel about me arriving here with just one goal? 

The goal being the possibility of going straight to soul-to-soul 

And there's only way that I'll know if we can meet there 

It's to touch me, touch me 

Hmm, yeah, that'll do alright 

Okay stop, I want to double check 

Touch me, yeah 

What room is this? 

Straight to the heart 

I'm startin' at zero 

This is how I choose to live my life 

Okay, so I didn't say it too well 

But the intent that I came to your hotel room with 

Is one of respect for you 

Coming from a place of respect to another human being 

Being straight ahead, not playing those games 

I don't want to do the dance 

You picked the wrong girl 

I'm startin' at zero
