Esprit De L'escalier - Lyrics - Fay Lovsky

There's a little voice inside my head It tells me what I ought have done It tells me what I ought have said, it drives me mad And sometimes red with laughter, but, I cannot shut it out It hits me after each time that I've Been together with a close friend or somebody I have done my very best for to impress I'm so obsessed, trying to be nice and funny But, I cannot guess just what the voice will tell me Wish I knew what to say, not afterwards but straightaway Yes, that would be great, hey, esprit de l'escalier Don't you be so late because I can't Every time I end a phonecall in my head I hear a little buzzer, hear a little bell I know it well, I know the voice is gonna tell me just how swell I might have been if only I had thought of everything I seem to do just seems to take this silly turn Just seems to end this silly way I can't explain, perhaps the voice will tell me Hey, why don't you stay, so you will see why I Wish I knew what to say, not afterwards but straightaway Yes, that would be great, hey, esprit de l'escalier Don't you be so late, because I can't wait
