One for My Baby

…But this torch that I found
It’s gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

Waiting for a Star to Fall by Boy Meets Girl (1988)

Loved it in 1988. In 2013, it seems a bit creepy.

When I broke up with someone, I used to listen to Robyn – Dancing on My Own The song is about the girl that sees a guy with another chick. So what do you think, in a couple of weeks I got in the same exact situation.
