Pace the floor, stop and stare
I drink a cup of coffee and start to combin' out my hair
I drink forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee, waiting for you to come home
A quarter to twelve, you're still not in
The way you run around is a doggone sin
I drink 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 drink forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee, waiting 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 drink 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 want to hug and kiss you and say, "I'm glad you're still alive"
I drink forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee, but I'm glad you finally came home
