"White Gardenias" lyrics

"White Gardenias"

Has she been around tonight?
Give a call if she should happen by
Cause it's been at least a week
Since last time I've seen her
White dress, white shoes, and white gardenias

Maybe she went back to Baltimore
Bet she packed her bags the night before
Took a taxi down to Lex and 44th
Said, "Take me back to Baltimore"
'Cause long ago she left her heart there
'Cause she could not stop the bleeding
White dress, white shoes, and white gardenias

I don't know where she goes when she leaves me
And I don't know who she sees or where she sleeps
But if you see her out tonight
Just look her in the eye
You might not know her now
But you'll know her when you see her
White dress, white shoes, and white gardenias
White dress, white shoes, and white gardenias
