Barenaked Ladies - Conventioneers Lyrics
You walked into the room
And the whole place stopped to notice
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
I've never been ashamed of my attraction
I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction
You and me as senior citizens in love
I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the t.v.
Too patient as I'm playing L(1)O(1)V(4)E(1)
And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh
And we have to or we'll end up in the bath
I know that in the past it was something I'd disparage
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
And I guess I'll see you Monday like before
Before all the fireworks exploded
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
Now what can we say?
Have a nice day
Looks like rain today...
Now I'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
Now I've landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation?
So I wait, come in late. It'd be great
If you transferred out of state

Barenaked Ladies Conventioneers Comments
There are two songs that make this song fantastic.
First of all, this is the most pathetic and desperate song I’ve ever heard. It’s hilarious.
Also, Jim’s bass performance.
I remember hating this song when I was nine years old and first heard it. Once I was old enough to have serious relationships, it's become one of my favorite songs ever because I recognized what it was about.
For him it was life changing magic, for her it was just something to pass the time.
I'm already thinking marriage
This song makes me laugh at the end every single time. Great visuals.
nearly no downvotes on any bnl song... rare and beautiful mad respect to all of you
reminds me of my pursuit or rare desire to do so of every chick ive ever met in one way or another as being a male empath with intuitive gifts and half shaman sucks in this regard
robert shelton lol What
This song makes me think of Leslie and Ben's relationship on Parks & Recreation
This song is so sad. This guy had dreams of this girl and their future, but nope! FAIL :,(
I agree.
BNL doesn't need Steven to be successful, but they need him to be great
its true
Love this song. Wonder if it was influenced by a Seinfeld episode where George has sex with his co-worker and things get incredibly awkward for him at the office so he thinks about quitting.
Best song of this entire album in my opinion.
pinch me is pretty good too
Covered this song with a guitarist and a bongo player. I killed the vocals, and the backup killed it as well. Thanks for the upload! love this tune!!!
