Fabled table

If looks could stroke and each cost money
onlookers would go broke
when you're around them honey
if looks could kill and you were more careless
then yours would kill at will
which sure would make'em stare less

       eyes meeting 'cross the table
       in a drunken fable
       and I'm no longer able
       to leave your fabled table

If looks could buy attention and a share
of time in someone's life
I'd stare with so much care
if looks could talk but then I'm sure they do
you must know I can't
walk away and out on you

          refr.

          I'm tied with cords and cables
          to your fabled table
