No Plus One

No plus one, just me
One name, one seat
No plus one, I'm good
Whole room knows I would

I don't need a fake date leaning on my arm
Got a clean shirt pressed and a halfway working car
Pull up to the table, tell the host count one
If the night goes right, I can stay till it's done
You can ask where she is, I can say that's past
I ain't dressing up a story just to make you laugh
Got a pocket full of mint and a joke that lands
I can meet somebody new with my own two hands

No plus one, just me
One name, one seat
No plus one, I'm good
Whole room knows I would

Now the DJ knows my cousin and the cook knows me
Somebody dragged a chair from the back of the screen
I don't need to fill the space like an unpaid bill
If you want to come sit, better come sit real
She said you seem settled, I said getting there
Put the bag on the table, take the empty chair
No promise in the greeting, no contract in the grin
I'm just glad I didn't wait for a date to come in

One name on the paper
Two cups by the end
No plus one
Maybe one new friend

No plus one, just me
One name, one seat
No plus one, I'm good
Whole room knows I would

No Plus One
