Sonja
Lyle Lovett
Iâve never been lucky
At picking up women
But this life that I live
Is not one that I choose
She was a waitress
With hair blond and curly
With a pretty black dress
And those japanese shoes
CHORUS:
Man I need to impress her
âcause Iâd like to undress her
I need a song about sonja
When Iâm singing tonight
She looked so pretty
As she poured my coffee
But she had her eye
On my friend at the bar
And I watched her watch him
And I watched her thinking
I wish her eye was on me
Chorus
And if I could sing her
A tender love ballad
Iâd hope that the audience
might sing along
But I canât find the right way
To tell her my feelings
And still make the words rhyme with sonja
No Iâve never been lucky
At picking up women
But this life that I live
Is not one that I choose
She was a waitress
Now sheâs gone forever
And Iâm stuck with this song
That I never will use
Man you need to impress her
If you want to undress her
Sing a song about sonja
When youâre singing tonight
Sing a song about sonja
When youâre singing tonight
