Say, have you seen

That woman sat at the counter

I never know

If she’s coming or going alone

Be and behold

I’d rather sit here and wonder

A moment ago

Taking her coat

She catches cold

Now I’ve never been

The kind to fashion a lover

It ‘aint of me

But don’t think you won’t see me try

I soldier on

Hoping I might be her other

Ready to go

Or up in smoke

Only half blind

See now I

I’ve had my trouble sleeping

Maybe I could sit and dream it through

Or now I could

Pour two cups of coffee

One for me

And still there’s one for you

Now, babe, why can’t you see

That boy sat at the counter

You’d never know

If he’s coming or leaving alone

I am beholden

Now you are pulling me under

Ready to go

Taking her coat

Walking her home

Ready to go

Only a coat

I’m leading you home
