#VERSE
Dimly lit bar
Friday night
Nothing going wrong
Things could go right
Drew whispered a prayer
“Luck, come my way”
Hadn’t been kissed
Since his last birthday
#PRE-CHORUS
Suddenly she stood
In front of him
Purple lipstick
Shy, nervous grin
#CHORUS
Chartreuse
Colorful recluse
Promised herself
That she’d cut loose
#VERSE
She faced the stage
Swayed to the band
Gave Drew a hint of hope
With a side-eye glance
Her yellow-green shirt
Years behind the trends
Like some long-ago kiss
Drew ached for again
#PRE-CHORUS
He froze on his stool
What would he say?
Her eyes made his icebreakers
Melt away
#CHORUS
Chartreuse
Colorful recluse
Promised herself
That she’d cut loose
She was interested
But it seemed no use
Another lonely Friday night
For the girl named Chartreuse
#BRIDGE
Drew got off that high stool
Stood by the tall-top table
His heart moved toward her
But his feet weren’t able
Sipped his lonesome gin and tonic
Acted cool and aloof
Didn’t see her roll her eyes
Thinking, “Come on, ya damn goof!”
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
Three simple words
“My name’s Drew”
Would have worked magic
On side-eye Chartreuse
His lonesome gin and tonic
Could have mingled with her Coke
Drew’s foot tapped to the music
But he never spoke
#PRE-CHORUS
The band took a break
Keyboard player walked by
“I like the color of your shirt”
Drew silently cursed the guy
#CHORUS
Chartreuse
Colorful recluse
Whispered her own prayer
“Let me be seduced”
But the wannabe rock star
Wasn’t her type
Her side-eye glance locked
On that quiet, shy guy
#CHORUS
Chartreuse
Colorful recluse
She’d break the ice herself
If she had an excuse
Would his G&T and her Coke
Ever be introduced?
Or would there be no connection
Between Drew and Chartreuse
#OUTRO
She was hopeful and hungry
But it all seemed no use
A lonely Friday night
For the girl named Chartreuse
A lonely Friday night
For the girl named Chartreuse
