Lyrics
It’s gettin’ late but this place looks open And in a booth by the waitress station I’ll assess my dire situation and try to find my way I guess I should order something From that pretty girl over there and I’m aware that She caught me staring and now she’s coming this way
I don’t want her number but if she’d spare a little time Some coffee and conversation would be just fine
Good evening darlin’ And, no, I’ve not decided yet It’s sure been a night to forget but for your pretty eyes I’ve been sittin’ here thinkin’ about Just what in the world I’m gonna do, is it true that Maybe you’d have a thought or two I could try on for size
Undying devotion is not what I have in mind But coffee and conversation would be just fine
No good man should be cast away on an island in the middle of the sea As his dreams sink like a stone No good man should be locked away in a prison high atop a hill Destined to live out his years alone
Wait, don’t go yet I’ll have what he’s having over there Won’t you please pull up a chair and share your tender smile I’ve been sittin’ here worryin’ about What the future may bring And I was just wondering, wondering can we talk awhile?
No ulterior motive, no funny business, no stupid line Just coffee and conversation, coffee and conversation, Coffee and conversation would be just fine
