Pace the floor, stop and stare I drink a cup of coffee Start to pulling 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
Forty cups of coffee Forty cups of coffee Forty cups of coffee
A quarter to three I start watching the clock The phone won't ring So I'm waiting for your knock
A quarter to four You ain't got home yet I try to be cool And smoke a cigarette
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 (Forty cups of coffee) Forty cups of coffee But I'm glad you finally came home
