One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
            Though I just dropped by to let you know
            That I'm leaving you tomorrow;
            I'll cause you no more sorrow:
            One cup of coffee, then I'll go.

            I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
            But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
            It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
            So one cup of coffee, then I'll go.

            Tell the kids I came last night
            And kissed them while they slept;
            Make my coffee sweet and warm
            Just the way you used to lie in my arms.

            I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
            But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
            It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
            So one cup of coffee, then I'll go;
            One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
            One cup of coffee, then I'll go.
