| Pace the floor, stop and stare
|
| I drink a cup of coffee and start pulling out my hair
|
| I’m drinking forty cups of coffee
|
| Forty cups of coffee
|
| Forty cups of coffee, waiting for you to come home
|
| A quarter to twelve and you’re still not in
|
| The way you run around is a doggone sin
|
| I’m drinking forty cups of coffee
|
| Forty cups of coffee
|
| Forty cups of coffee, waiting for you to come home
|
| A quarter to three, I start watching the clock
|
| The phone won’t ring, so I’m waiting for your knock
|
| I’m drinking forty cups of coffee
|
| Forty cups of coffee
|
| Forty cups of coffee, waiting for you to come home
|
| Quarter to four, you ain’t got home yet
|
| I try to be cool and smoke a cigarette
|
| I’m drinking forty cups of coffee
|
| Forty cups of coffee
|
| Forty cups of coffee, waiting for you to come home
|
| You knock on the door about a quarter to five
|
| I wanna hug you and kiss you, say thank heaven you’re alive
|
| I drank forty cups of coffee
|
| Forty cups of coffee
|
| Forty cups of coffee, but I’m glad you finally came home |
