One cup of coffee, then I'll go; Though I just dropped by to let you know That I'm leaving you tomorrow; I'll cause you no more sorrow: One cup of coffee, then I'll go.
I brought the money like the lawyer said to do, But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you; It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know, So one cup of coffee, then I'll go. --- /Saxophone solo/ --- Tell the kids I came last night And kissed them while they slept; Make my coffee sweet and warm Just the way you used to lie in my arms.
I brought the money like the lawyer said to do, But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you; It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know, So one cup of coffee, then I'll go; One cup of coffee, then I'll go; One cup of coffee, then I'll go. /fadeout/
