Never on A Tuesday

You always call me baby
And I'm always second best
You look like there's something
You need to get off of your chest
I ask and ask you for a visit
But you push me to another day
I ask you why and you only speak
"Never on a Tuesday"
You don't provide a rhyme or reason
Why I can't see you the third day of the week
I pry and probe with no effect
Only those four words will you repeat
Finally I hand you a letter
With an ultimatum all enclosed
And you look weakened
As if you are surely indisposed
I ask you one more time
And into a tale you launch
Telling of heartbreak and joy
You don't look as staunch
Your usual heroism isn't present
As you tell me the story
Of your and your high school love
A redheaded beauty named Tori
The drunkard that drove
The cause of her untimed demise
With a ring in your pocket
Some girls believe that the ultimate prize
I can't imagine how hard that was
And I back off the asking right away
But you pull me close, again whispering
Never on a Tuesday
You let me know it's not about me
But about drinking and seeing girls
You'll never drink a drop of alcohol
Or rough up some girls pearls
But that only applies to Tuesdays
And sit back to let you think
The importance of my wants
Immediately began to shrink
