Prom Night by The Perfect Theory Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll pick you up tonight at eight
And then we will go on out to eat
At someplace great like a steakhouse
With twenty-five dollar plates
And it won't be bad
And you and I will laugh and smile
And maybe hold each other's hand

[Chorus]
'Cause tonight is prom night in my town
And all my friends are gathered all around
I'm not sure I know these people's names
But I'll still play these outrageous party games

[Verse 2]
I know my dear you would agree
That tonight there's not a better place
Than the golden state of Iowa to be
'Cause Britt is where it's at
In fact, my clothes match yours and we look shocking
Take my hand and we'll go walking out
[Chorus]
It's prom night in my town
And you look nice but like you've added several pounds
My dear, would you like a piece of cake
Eat it slower, more ladylike for goodness sake

[Verse 3]
I think I'm starting to feel ill
'Cause I've just realized the truth about tonight
And how much I don't wanna be in sight
With you or anyone a part of this
I don't like this place, I don't wanna be here
I just wanna go home

There's something you should know
I hate the prom, but my mom made me go
My dear, I really must confess
When you called my house my mom made me say "yes"

One more thing I just gotta say
My band doesn't face the audience
And we don't have words
