It's just a cup of coffee
He's only passing through
There's nothing more between us
Than a memory or two
I know what you're thinking
This time I'm telling you
It's just a cup of coffee
He's only passing through

I meetin' here at midnight
At the old highway cafe
I'll be home in an hour
Don't look at me that way
There's nothing more between us
Than a memory or two
It's just a cup of coffee
He's only passing through

And I know you heard it all before
You think I'm a fool about to fall
What am I talking to you for
'Cause I've made up my mind and after all
You're only a mirror on the wall

No one ever bothered
To give him back his ring
And yes I'm wearing perfume
But that doesn't mean a thing
You're only a reflection
Don't tell me what to do
It's just a cup of coffee
He's only passing through

And I know you heard it all before
You think I'm a fool about to fall
What am I talking to you for
'Cause I've made up my mind and after all
You're only a mirror on the wall

There's nothing more between us
Than a memory or two
It's just a cup of coffee
He's only passing through
