Hotel Room 417

Hey baby, I'm in town and I thought I'd give you a call

Maybe we could get together, have dinner, go to a show

Maybe go to a museum, an art gallery

Get to know each other, slowly, over time, don't be nervous, baby

I'm not

And, no, thanks

Hotel du Vie, how can I help you?

Room 417, please

Yeah?

Hi, I'm coming down to your hotel

We've got to talk, buy condoms

I'm startin' at zero

I've come to your hotel room looking like a boy

No makeup, my hair's a mess, I don't want to be coy

I'm here to present something to you

And to see how you feel about it

It's now or we're through, I'm not looking to make friends

I'm not interested in who you are or getting to know you

Going to art galleries or museums

I just want to know if we can make good loving together

And get out of here if we can't

I find that time is just speeding by

And I just don't have time for having my time speedin' by

And thieves keep eatin' my time

I'm startin' at zero

So how do you feel about it?

How do you feel about me arriving here with just one goal?

The goal being the possibility of going straight to soul-to-soul

And there's only way that I'll know if we can meet there

It's to touch me, touch me

Hmm, yeah, that'll do alright

Okay stop, I want to double check

Touch me, yeah

What room is this?

Straight to the heart

I'm startin' at zero

This is how I choose to live my life

Okay, so I didn't say it too well

But the intent that I came to your hotel room with

Is one of respect for you

Coming from a place of respect to another human being

Being straight ahead, not playing those games

I don't want to do the dance

You picked the wrong girl

I'm startin' at zero
