Backstory:
Interesting story this one. Nancy and I actually began writing another song with a completely different hook. In the verses the last line was: "On the Back of the Receipt" depicting what ended up being this song. So we wrote it with that as the hook and this is the result.
Lyrics:
Back of the Receipt
Writers: Nancy Probst, Mike D. Nichols
Key: A
[Verse 1]
I saw you through the window
So I stopped for a bite to eat
I wasn’t even hungry
But you looked so pretty and sweet
That I wrote “call me” on the back of the receipt
[Chorus]
Well you'd think I would know better
But whenever I’m with you
I stumble, stutter and do dumb stuff
And it all started, on the back of the receipt
[Verse 2]
One year later we went out to dinner
Champagne cost too much so I ordered Chablis
I paid the check, then suddenly I had an idea
Your eyes widened as you smiled at me
I wrote “will you marry me?”on the back of the receipt
[Chorus]
Well you'd think I would know better
But whenever I’m with you
I stumble, stutter and do dumb stuff
And it all started, on the back of the receipt
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Well you'd think I would know better
But whenever I’m with you
I stumble, stutter and do dumb stuff
And it all started, on the back of the receipt
[Outro]
Yeah it all started, On the back of a receipt.
