Forty Cups Of Coffee

Forty Cups Of Coffee - Ella Mae Morse

Pace the floor stop and stare

I drink a cup of coffee

Start to coming 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 and

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 wanna hug you and kiss you and say

Thank god that 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
