before he takes his seat
she slides the sugar closer to him
she knows he likes it sweet
and then she s
with busy fingers
waiting for his smile
they talk about the rainy weather
she's thinkin' 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 your lovin' kind
it's strong enough for two
you can 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 comin' down
the factory that's gonna bring
some life back to this town
she wonders if his words mean more
than what it really seems
and she's still lookin'
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 your lovin' kind
it's strong enough for two
I'm more woman
than I can show you
in this old cafe"
but all she says is
"have a nice day'
he winks once, then he's gone
she's got time to kill
but in her dreams
she's leavin' with him
she knows someday she will
what she wants to say is
"I can love a man like you
oh, how I wish you knew
I have seen your lovin' kind
it's strong enough for two
I'm more woman
than I can show you
in this old cafe"
but all she says is
oh, all she says is
oh, all she says is
"have a nice day"
that's the entire song....I don't know if I have the words just right. This song has been stuck in my head for days.
