One Cup Of Coffee


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.

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.
