I burned my hand and I cut my face   Heaven knows how long it's been   Since I've felt so out of place   Wonderin' if I'll fit in      Debbie and Charley said, they'd be here by nine   And Deb said, she might bring a friend   And just my luck, they're right on time   So here I go again      And I'm gonna smile my best smile   And I'm gonna laugh like it's going out of style   Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see   That learning to live again is killing me      Little cafe, table for four   But there's just conversation for three   And I like the way she let me get the door   And I wonder what she thinks of me      Debbie just whispered, "You're doin' fine"   And I wished that I felt the same   She's asked me to dance, now her hand's in mine   Oh, my God, I've forgotten her name      But I'm gonna smile my best smile   And I'm gonna laugh like it's going out of style   Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see   This learning to live again is killing me      Now here we are beneath her porch light   And I say, "What a great time it's been"   A kiss on the cheek, a whisper goodnight   And I say, "Can I see you again?"      And she just smiles her best smile   And she laughs like it's going out of style   Looks into my eyes and says, "We'll see"   Oh, this learning to live again is killing me   God, this learning to live again is killing me
