Ten at night
Corner store
Automatic sliding door
Basket?
No, I won't need one
Milk and then I'm gone
Walked past chips
Kept my pace
Chocolate staring in my face
Buy one, get one
Little sign
Okay, maybe that one's mine
I came for milk
Just for milk
Now there's something in each hand
I came for milk
Turned around
Aisle three
Something else was calling me
Coffee cans were half the price
Put in two
That should be fine
Saw the noodles stacked up high
Thought of lunch for Monday night
Eggs were sitting right below
Six more things
And here we go
I came for milk
Just for milk
Why am I still walking round?
I came for milk
No basket
Bad mistake
Both my arms about to break
Bread on top
Juice below
Still one aisle left to go
Phone buzzed
What took so long?
I looked down
They weren't wrong
Typed back
Almost at the door
Then I found one special offer
I came for milk
Just for milk
Now I'm carrying half the store
I came for milk
Checkout line
Number four
Dropped my crackers on the floor
Lady smiled and picked them up
I said thanks and held my stuff
Cashier asked
Need a bag?
Looked at everything I had
One bag?
No, better make it two
There was nothing else to do
I came for milk
Just for milk
Two full bags and one receipt
I came for milk
Walked outside
Crossed the street
Plastic handles on my wrists
Halfway home
I stopped and thought
Something here had been forgot
Checked both bags beneath the light
Bread and noodles
Eggs inside
Coffee, chocolate
Juice was there
But the milk was nowhere
I came for milk
Came for milk
Turned around and laughed out loud
I forgot the milk
