First Date
Well! I remember the first date I was a teenage boy
I picked her up in the car had to wait for her she was late
She finally came out I open the door she sat down I close the door
I said where would you like to go
She replied " let's go downtown to the Olive Garden"
So we arrived
I parked, we went inside we set at the middle booth
People all around us people laughing, chattering, talking
To me so dischanting and so alarming
It sounded a little uncouth I spied over there's a man yelling at his date
Maybe his wife, girlfriend who knows
I don't know, all I know I almost wanted to go
The waitress came I ordered fish
This was our first date it was good but it wasn't great
She ordered steak
I can hardly imagine entrenched in the silence
As I sat wondering was the lettuce fresh yuk
So I took a sip of water and I kept on looking at her this girl
Soon-to-be woman my mate
So we finished the meal I held her seat as she rose
I let her lead trying to still be a gentleman
Got to the car once again held the door open for her
She sat down and buckled in I walked around the back of the car sat down and drove away went to a show we both wanted to go to a movie had to hurry it was for two and a half hours didn't want to be late this was our first date
