Another Cup Of Coffee

(album: Everything I've Always Wanted - 1981)

I just stopped by to have a cup of coffee
And get some things I left when he moved in
I can't stay too long 'cause I've got someone waiting
I got to hurry up and meet a friend

Well, it's working out just fine since he took over
'Cause that leaves me lots of time to live it up
I'm almost late, I really should be going
But I guess there's time for just another cup

I see you've rearranged the way the house was
You've added some and took some things away
Could you warm this half-a-cup here that I'm holding
I don't have much time, I must be on my way

Well, I've talked so long and all you've done is listened
And that coffee pot's been empty for an hour
My friend's upset, but I know how to please her
I'll stop somewhere and buy some pretty flowers

It's too late to pick up what I came by for
And if I left them, do you really think he'd mind
'Cause like I said, I'm late and she won't like it
I'll drop by and pick them up some other time

Well' it's funny when you think what life can offer
When everything in life is up for trade
I was only driving by, just thought I'd drop in
'Cause I always liked the coffee that you made
'Cause I always liked the coffee that you made
