(verse 1)

I'm sittin' in this cafe,

 People talkin' so loud I can't hear myself think,

 That's not a bad thing,

 The coffee keeps on coming,

 The waiter who keeps smilin' as,

 I'm ridin' on a river of caffeine,

 An' that's not a bad thing,

(chorus)

 I used to feel sorry for someone like me,

 In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night,

 I used to say, It just ain't right,

How could anybody ever have any fun,

 Without somebody, without someone,

 It never dawned on me, the possibility,

 That it's not a bad thing

(verse 2)

Those naggin' thoughts about you,

 How I left without you tonight,

 You know, they're few and far between,

 The waiter's name is Joey, he told me,

 And that's when I noticed he ain't wearing any ring,

 An' that's not a bad thing,

(chorus)

 And there is a tug on the edge of my heart,

 It's you again sayin ,Don't you start lettin' go of me,

 But I ain't listenin,

 For once in my life, I'll feel what I feel,

Let it be, let it be real, let it flow through me,

 An' wash me clean, that's not a bad thing,

 (lead chords - - - - )

(verse 3)

As I'm drivin' home, I'm thinkin, the worst might be over,

 Or maybe I'm a little bit naive,

 But the street lights seem brighter,

 As I walk to my front door,

 And I'm all alone when I turn the key,

 An' that's not a bad thing,

(chorus)

 I used to feel sorry for someone like me,

 In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night,

 I used to say, It just ain't right,

How could anybody ever have any fun,

 Without somebody, without someone,
