Bilingual
I was sitting there in a comfortable chair
And that was all that I needed
ย
Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share
And that was all that I needed
ย
Well, then I felt at ease
But then I'm not too hard to please
I guess you couldn't call me greedy
ย
Then I was shocked to look up
And see rita hayworth there in a place so seedy
ย
She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair
And that was all that I needed
ย
And I said to my friend, "good god,
We're lucky men just to even see her"
ย
Take, take, take
Take, take, take
Take, take, take
And I could not resist, I just had to get close to her
And that was all that I needed
ย
I walked and loomed around her table for a while
And that was all that I needed
ย
Then I said, "I hate to bug you, ma'am, but can I have your autograph"
And that was all that I needed
ย
She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper
And that was all that I needed
ย
Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth
And that was all that I needed
ย
Then she handed it to me, and I think that she could see
That that was all that I needed
ย
I started to walk away but then I
Remembered 'hey, I forgot to get a picture'
ย
So I asked her one more time, "could I have another favor"
That was all that I needed
ย
She was kind and posed with me
Then I knew my friend would see my celebrity meeting
ย
Take, take, take
Take, take, take
Take, take, take
She turned and said to me, "I need to go to sleep"
And it seemed so mean
ย
It's almost as if she could not appreciate how cool I was being
ย
She said, "good night" and walked away
And I didn't know what to say
I just couldn't believe it
ย
Well, it's just not fair
I want to get a piece of hair
That was all that I needed
ย
Or maybe a kiss on the cheek
I wouldn't wash it for a week
That would be all that I needed
ย
But she didn't even care
That I was even there
What a horrible feeling
ย
