I just stopped by to have a cup of coffee

And get some things I left when he moved in

I can't stay too long 'cause I've got someone waiting

I got to hurry up and meet a friend



Well, it's workin' out just fine since he took over

'Cause that leaves me lots of time to live it up

I'm almost late, I really should be goin'

But I guess there's time for just another cup



I see you've rearranged the way the house was

You've added some and took some things away

Could you warm this half-a-cup here that I'm holdin'

I don't have much time, I must be on my way



Well, I've talked so long and all you've done is listened

And that coffee pot's been empty for an hour

My friend's upset, but I know how to please her

I'll stop somewhere and buy some pretty flowers



It's too late to pick up what I came by for

And if I left them, do you really think he'd mind

'Cause like I said, I'm late and she won't like it

I'll drop by and pick them up some other time



Well' it's funny when you think what life can offer

When everything in life is up for trade

I was only drivin' by, just thought I'd drop in

'Cause I always liked the coffee that you made

'Cause I always liked the coffee that you made
