Forty Cups of Coffee

Pace the floor, stop and stare

I drink a cup of coffee and start to combin' out my hair

I drank 40 cups of coffee

40 cups of coffee

40 cups of coffee waitin' for you to come home

A quarter to twelve, you're still not in

The way you run around is the doggonest sin

I drank 40 cups of coffee

40 cups of coffee

40 cups of coffee waitin' for you to come home

A quarter to three, I start watchin' the clock

The phone won't ring so I'm waitin' for your knock

I drank 40 cups of coffee

40 cups of coffee

40 cups of coffee waitin' for you to come home

A quarter to four, you ain't got home yet

I try to be cool and smoke a cigarette

I drank 40 cups of coffee

40 cups of coffee

40 cups of coffee waitin' for you to come home

You knock on the door about a quarter to five

I wanna hug and kiss you and say, "I'm glad you're still alive"

I drank 40 cups of coffee

40 cups of coffee

40 cups of coffee but I'm glad you finally came home
