Baby, it just took one look at you For me to change my one drink order to two Like we already knew each other Like we been talking all night About a minute into our first dance We got blindsided by your friends All in a hurry like you had to go Didn't they know you can't leave someone Girl, you can't leave someone In the middle of a dance floor all alone In the middle of an old school country song Right when I was just about to lean on in Why'd you have to go then? Baby, in the middle of the glow of the neon light It shoulda, coulda, woulda been the night of our lives Girl, it ain't right, no How you gonna leave me right in the middle of a memory? We were gonna dance till they shut it down People'd be staring while I spin you 'round Thinking we were so in love, yeah They wouldn't know we hadn't even hooked up I'd get your number and I'd give you mine And we'd be hanging out tomorrow night But now I don't know where you are I'm under these lights right here in the dark In the middle of a dance floor all alone In the middle of an old school country song Right when I was just about to lean on in Why'd you have to go then? Baby, in the middle of the glow of the neon light It shoulda, coulda, woulda been the night of our lives Girl, it ain't right, no How you gonna leave me right in the middle of a memory? Yeah, it's like you walked right out in the middle of a movie Tore the back half out of a book And no, you'll never know, girl, what you did to me It ain't right saying goodbye In the middle of a dance floor all alone In the middle of what could've been our song Right when I was just about to lean on in Why'd you have to go then? Baby, in the middle of the glow of the neon light It shoulda, coulda, woulda been the night of our lives But, girl, it ain't right, no How you gonna leave me right in the middle of a memory? In the middle of a memory In the middle of a memory
