	In this typical "he done me wrong, but I'm gettin' on" song, Beth tells the story of the time that she met up with a man she invited to fundraising gala. Happy to accept her invitation, he joined her at the gala and was completely enamored with her the entire evening. However, during the course of the night, as he got increasingly bored, he also got incredibly smashed, and at the end of the evening, without saying much of anything, he snuck out the front door. However, right before he left, half-in-the-bag, he did tell Beth, "Don't move. I'll be right back." But he never came back and never returned her calls or emails. Writing this song from her perspective on the evening, Beth essentially recalls his drunken, foolish behavior, saying in the end, "if you would've stuck around, we'd be going all the way right now." And funny enough, though she never heard from him again, she sent him a copy of the song in the mail, just to have the last word. The moral of the story: don't judge a book by its cover . . . don't count your chickens before they're hatched . . . and definitely do not screw with a songwriter.

	Lyrics It started out not half so bad where I wasn't feeling half so sad. But something happened where you fell through, 'cause I wouldn't do what you wanted me to. You drank it down, you lived it up, you got your kicks from a paper cup. And don't you know I would've like you more if you tried to be like you were before. Well, I know it's a party, I know, it's alright And I could surely do worse tonight. But if you'd just had buckled it down, You'd be coming back around. Chorus Without feeling like a fool, feeling uncool, Regretting that day and the things you said. We'd be truning out the lights, feeling alright, If you'd just had come around and been who you were before that day, We'd be going all the way. I never met a man before who inspired me to open my door. And I planned every word I'd say, so surely you would come my way. Well, only one thing went wrong, you started singing Celine Dion. And I turned as sober as a nun, and I felt like I wanted to run. But what kept me from going, what kept me from turning Was the fire that kept surely burning In my mind and in my heart, But now that we are far apart. Then something strange happened to me, something turned around and threw me. You said you'd be coming back, so I'd better not move in my tracks. Well, fifteen, twenty minutes went by and time began to quickly fly. And now I'm sure it was a lie, but still I can't get a reason why. Well, you left me stranded in my rut, After I worked up all the guts. And honey, I thought we did belong, But now I'm thanking God for making me wrong. Repeat Chorus
