Can you tell me   Why have I come?   Why am I in Chicago?   I just wanted to kiss the bride,   I didn't think I would be seeing you      Chorus:   And I had to laugh   You were shaking my hand   as if we'd never met and I   had to cry   'Cause the tears were too wet   and my eyes were too full   knowing I was forgettable      Did it ever hit you to call - no   phones in your Chicago?   There's nothing that I need to convey, just   maybe a small "hello" from LA      And I had to laugh   You were searching your head   for the right thing to say and I   had to cry   'Cause the tears were too wet   and my eyes were too full   knowing I was forgettable      I can recall every face that I have ever kissed   How did I fall on your "Miss Miscellaneous" list?      And I had to cry   There was no other way to express all my joy,   and I   had to laugh   When I thought of my fate   it was all I could do   Knowing I had escaped   from you
