Was It Something I Said? – Brandon Flowers
Me and Valentina went down to the chapel but the gates were shut
I had my vows in my pocket and a gold plated ring for my honey love
We headed down Tropicana to the corner with the late night restaurant
We sat across from each other
When I looked her in the eyes there was something gone
Was it something that I said or did?
Was it something that I should have kept hidden?
If you leave me hanging I don’t know what I’ll do
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina, this is not like you
I got a job at the Nugget
And I saved a thousand dollars for a brand new start
She said I didn’t want to do it but I did it
Cause I didn’t want to break your heart
The waiter whispered when he said
We had to take the conversation to the parking lot
Please baby, please Valentina, baby you’re the only thing I got
Was it something that I said or did?
Was it something that I should have kept hidden?
If you leave me hanging I don’t know what I’ll do
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina, this is not like you
I hear church bells ringing in my head
And I take them everywhere I go
Valentina met a dealer and I heard they had a baby five months ago
Was it something that I said or did?
Was it something that I should have kept hidden?
If you leave me hanging I don’t know what I’ll do
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina don’t say it’s true
This is not like you
