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
