The Coffee Shoppe lyrics

A lady and a gentleman decided on some coffee and a chat

They found their favorite coffee shop with two lights out and one suspicious cat

And they took the booth beside the only other couple there

And a conversation came from out of nowhere

And somewhere in between the words of "How are you" a rendezvous began

It seems the other woman took a liking to the other lady's man

And she complimented everything the gentleman possessed

And added in his lady without protest

And when the evening ended and the gentleman had figured out a plan

He took his lady home and got to talking, then the evil words began

He said that they were over and he'd fallen out of love

And this could be the new affair he dreamed of -- his dream love

So finished with his speech he made his way back to the woman of his dreams

But just as he arrived the woman said, "I must confess my wicked scheme"

She said she only loves a man who cannot be possessed

But when his love is hers she loses interest

So in the early evening if a gentleman should want to stop and chat

Just beware of coffee shops with two lights out and one suspicious cat
