lyrics

Hittin’ On You

When the clock hands on the wall read a quarter ‘til last call
And the options, such as they are, they grow few
When the barman turns to say ‘You gotta leave soon, so you better pay’
That’s the time I’ll come hittin’ on you

I’m a straightforward man and I want you to understand
I’m not much to look at, yes that’s true
And if you’re no Catherine Zeta, you’re looking better,
‘cause it’s getting later
But not too late to come hittin’ on you

It was not so long ago
That the room was all aglow
With music and laughter and conversation
The odds were lookin’ fine
‘Til there came a steep decline
And as the crowd thinned, so did my expectations

I could sure use another beer, but the barman, he don’t want to hear
You know, I’ve got a few back home in the fridge
I’m just sayin’

Now the hour’s getting late and the waistaff don’t wanna wait
It’s time to let some old beggars choose
For tonight I’ve come hittin’
I’m hittin’ on you.
