What could go wrong

Just for a laugh and just for dare
Asked my brother about dating Claire
Claire is my friend and beautiful too
But jealous that I'm dating Matthew

Sweet Claire sings like a nightingale
And Miss Bates says she writes really well
What could go wrong she'll like him for sure
This must be her, there's knock at the door

It's Matthew and Claire both at the same time
Just as the church clock now starts to chime
Matt grins shyly as he looks at me
While brother looks anxious and edgy

As he hadn't met Matthew before
"Excuse me" he pulls me out the door
"Won't be a minute" says to them fast
In kitchen tells of Matt's darker past

That chat now done we climb in two cars
Drive to a restaurant that's not far
Sure dunno how I managed to eat
Claire and I took a break from our seats

Back at the table found Matthew had gone
Brother said he'd been called on the phone
Well, he said "Sorry, crisis at home"
Claire's head shook, "I saw how his eyes roamed"

"For on the way here he tried it on me
Flirty touches, then grinning with glee"
I started to cry, I felt such a jerk
Let's hope brother's date with Claire will work
