Music by Rafael A. Nazario, Lyrics by Jim Pagano
Old analog recording based on a demo I had done for the tune. Still one of my favorite songs written with Jim.

It’s nine in the evening
‘bout time to be leaving
so find something flashy to wear
Rehearse your excuses
tie up the loose ends
let down your shiny black hair
Cause the guy that your meeting
suspects you’ve been cheating
he thinks that he’s on to your game
But you know how to use him
distract and confuse him
he won’t be a problem to tame
It’s the Same Situation
Ain’t it strange what what we put ourselves through
There’s no sane explanation
For the things that we do
Back home in the brownstone
The phone brings the wife down
cause baby has to work late again
It’s the third time since Monday
and he promises someday
she’ll be glad for the work he did then
So she says not to worry
there’s no need to hurry
cause dinner can wait till he’s through
1 of 2
Same Situation - 2
So she calls up a new friend
she met on the weekend
he’s no millionaire but he’ll do
It’s the Same Situation
Ain’t it strange what what we put ourselves through
There’s no sane explanation
For the things that we do
At school in the bleachers
with one of the teachers
she works on improving her grade
While the guy she’s been dating
sits home calculating
the number of girls that he’s made
Yes it’s seems they’ve acquired
the talents desired
by those who admire the game
Though they’ll never admit it
they know that they did it
except they don’t know what it means.
It’s the Same Situation
Ain’t it strange what we put ourselves through
There’s no sane explanation
For the things that we do
