She puts the coffee on the counter before he takes his seat

And slides the sugar closer to him. She knows he likes it sweet.

And then she lingers with busy fingers, waiting for his smile

They talk about the rainy weather, she's thinking all the while



What she wants to say is:

"I can love a man like you.

Oh, how I wish you knew.

I have seen you're good and kind,

Strong enough for two.

You could sweep me off my feet

And carry me away,"

But all she says is:

"Have a nice day."



They talk about how unemployment is finally coming down,

The factory that's going to bring some life back to this town.

She wonders if his words mean more than what it really seems

And she's still looking for the courage to say just what she means.



What she wants to say is:

"I can love a man like you.

Oh, how I wish you knew.

I have seen you're good and kind,

Strong enough for two.

I'm more woman than I can show you

In this old caf,"

But all she says is:

"Have a nice day."



He winks once, then he's gone. She's got time to kill.

And in her dreams she's leavin' with him, she knows some day she will



What she wants to say is:

"I can love a man like you.

Oh, how I wish you knew.

I have seen you're good and kind,

strong enough for two.

I'm more woman than I can show you

in this old caf,"

But all she says is:

"Have a nice day."
