I try to forget the days that are gone
Telling my heart not to cry
But after dinner I just can't go on
And here's a simple reason why

Coffee calls for a cigarette
A cigarette calls for something to drink
And something to drink calls for music and dancing
And that means romancing with you again

Every night when my work is done
And the horizon welcomes the sun
I'm right in the mood for some coffee, a cigarette
A drink and some music with you

Coffee I got in my kitchen
And my cigarette case is full
Music and drinks I could always get
But what good would it do when I'm still missing you

Yet if you came to my heart someday
I'd be so busy making you stay
So I'd have to give up the coffee the cigarette
The drinks and the music for you
For you
