Let's Get a Drink

Let’s get a drink

Let’s get a drink

And I can tell you about

The project I want your help with

Or the person I need to meet

That you know

Or get the thing you have

That I want

Let’s get a drink

Let’s get some food

Let’s sit down

Let me get something

Out of you

Two years ago

At a party

I saw you

And I thought--

Nothing there

Nothing there for me

And truthfully

I agree

That it would be

More beneficial

If I could be

The type of person

Who spots the ability

In others

To help me

But you see

First I need you

To help others

And to establish yourself

As someone

Who can be of use

To others

And then people like me

Who can’t really be bothered

To discover potential

Will notice what you’re doing

And then get in line

To find time

To buy you

A drink

Let’s get a drink

Let’s talk about what you think

I want to know what you think

Now

I want to know now

Not now as in now

But now as in--

I didn’t before

I didn’t care before

Before you weren’t someone

I had to care about

Or whose opinions

I had to care about

But that’s changed

And that’s great, isn’t it?

I mean, you couldn’t have expected me

To care before

Before now

But now?

Now you’re on my radar

And my radar

Is a great place

To be

So many people

Would kill

To be someone

I want

To get a drink with

And I don’t even know

Who most people are

I try not to be aware of too much

Or too many people

Or what’s going on

With people

Other than one or two

But you

You are someone

I am very interested in

And I want to hear

What you think

You can do

For me

I want you to think big

I want you to think outside the box

I want you to think of all the things

You’re ready

To bring to the table

And then bring ten times more

To the table

Bring so much to the table

That we have to get three more tables

And lots and lots more drinks

Let’s get drunk

On all the talk

And pitches

And ideas

You’re going to throw at me

Let’s get you and I

Together in a way

That would make

Even the most famous partnerships

Green with envy

Let’s order a round

Then have you

Go round and round

Telling me everything you love

About the idea

Of you and I

Working together

And then once you pay the tab

I’ll get us a cab

If people still get cabs

And you can drop me off

And go home

And hope

That I’ve decided

To let you do something

For me

God, are you lucky
I mean
Really

I would kill to be

As lucky

As you

Are about

To be
