(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,

(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,

It never dawned on me, the possibility,

That it's not a bad thin
