Across the Room, Darling

[Verse 1]

You stir your drink

I stir up trouble

Red cherry lips

Gold air bubble

You laugh too loud

I look away

Then I look back

You’re still looking my way (mm-hmm)

[Chorus]

Across the room, darling

You keep on pulling my eyes

Like you tied a little ribbon

From your smile to mine

If you’re thinking what I’m thinking

We’re wasting our time apart

Across the room, darling

Come finish what you start (hey!)

[Verse 2]

Your crooked tie

My crooked halo

You tap the glass

I tap the table

Friends disappear

Into the chatter

But every move

You make just seems to matter

[Chorus]

Across the room, darling

You keep on pulling my eyes

Like you tied a little ribbon

From your smile to mine

If you’re thinking what I’m thinking

We’re wasting our time apart

Across the room, darling

Come finish what you start

[Bridge]

[Band drops to bass, snaps, soft horns]

Count to three

I’ll walk, you meet me

One for the joke

Two for the tease

Three for the chance

You lean and say

“Been flirting with you

Since you walked in today” (oh!)

[Chorus]

Across the room, darling

You kept on pulling my eyes

Now that ribbon that you tied

Has my hand in yours tonight

If you’re feeling what I’m feeling

Let’s see how far this goes

Across the room, darling

Now we’re dancing nose to nose
