Take Me To The Store

from Not Without Their Charm by The Vermeers

/

lyrics

Matt, he threw a party
And no one really came
Except for poor ol' Holly
Her head hung down in shame
She should've known better
Of this I have no doubt
She tried to get away
But then poor Matt began to pout

And he said,
"Take me to the store, my friend
Take me to the store
I'll make it worth your while
And I won't bug you anymore"

Well, after much debate
She finally gave in
Gave a sigh and rolled her eyes
Her patience running thin
Started up the driveway
The snow was pretty thick
Drove right through a stop sign
The road was really slick

And still he said,
"Take me to the store, my friend
Take me to the store
I'll make it worth your while
And I won't bug you anymore"

Windshield wipers goin' steady
There's a blizzard hurricane
If he'd had asked her sooner
She'd have brought it on her way
Reached their destination
Matt got himself some drinks
Even chipped in for ol' Holly
With a bottle to clink

And she said,
"I got you to the store, my friend
I got you to the store
I'll hold you to your word
Please don't bug me anymore."

"I got you to the store, my friend
I got you to the store
I'll hold you to your word
Please don't bug me anymore."
