Coffee

     One word titles. Easy to remember. The name of this song is coffee. The song is really not about coffee. It is really about love. The chorus says, Love's a cup of coffee, drink a cup or drink a pot. It's best fresh and hot. I guess that line is describing how great love feels at the beginning of a new relationship. The next line in the chorus is  Coffee, coffee.coffee, it's all I drink about. Isn't it amazing how much we think about love when we first find it. The last line of the chorus is When it turns cold, she'll just pour it out. Wasted love. Well the relationship didn't work out. It must of been bad coffee. Just a few comments about the chorus. Here are the lyrics and the twist at the end. 

Coffee 

She said, Let's meet for coffee 

 the diner down on sixth street 

 Ill be in a corner booth 

 we need to talk 

She asked, When I could be there 

 said, be there 4:15 

She's got plans for tomorrow,  

plans to leave me. 

 

 Oh, Love's a cup of coffee. 

drink a cup, drink a pot 

It gives me a buzz 

its best, fresh and hot 

Coffee, coffee, coffee 

It's all I drink about 

but after it turns cold 

she'll just pour it out  

 

I'll  miss you in the morning 

making noises in the kitchen 

The smell of your perfume ain't 

floating down the hall 

Daybreak will be diff'rent 

without you and hazelnut 

I won't change how much I make 

cause change is  tough 

 

Chorus Oh, Love's a cup of coffee 

drink a cup, drink a pot 

It gives me a buzz 

It's best, fresh and hot 

Coffee, coffee, coffee 

it's all I drink about 

after it turns cold 

I'll just pour it out.

  

I could stretch myself, like a rubber band 

and maybe, someday, give love a second chance 

 

Oh, Love's  cup of coffee 

drink a cup, or drink a pot 

It gives me a buzz,  

It's best, fresh and hot 

Coffee, coffee, coffee 

I can't get enough 

If it turns cold,  

I'll just heat it up. 

If it turns cold, 

I'll just heat it up.
