lyrics

GALA
Baby I know I'm not supposed to be here tonight
and maybe I should have stayed home 
watching politicians fight
but here I am
in the only jacket I can wear
waiting for your grand entrance
with someone for whom you really care
 
Because I sneaked in at your gala
just to see you parade around with him
oh yeah, I sneaked in here at the Gala
and I'm not even dressed properly
oh, why is this happening to me?

Baby it still hurts to see 
just how beautiful you are
still intoxicated by your sting
I knew I wouldn’t get too far
so here I am
in the only clothes I can wear
wishing, just for a moment
to be the one for whom you really care

That's why I sneaked in at your gala
just to see you happy beside him
oh yeah, I sneaked in here at the Gala
to watch you shine in his company
oh, why am I doing this to me?

Baby I know I'm not 
as good as your man most times
but I'll prove you that I can love you
'til the sun and the dark star will shine
in the sky above your gala
on a red carpet without me
It ain't my place
here at the gala
but you're as beautiful as one can be
oh, why are you not still beside me?

It must be because 
I could never dress properly
yeah that's because
I could never dress properly
guess that's because
I could never dress properly
