There's a joint on the corner where I drink my morning joe
The eggs are greasy and the service is slow
But there's a brown-eyed girl that'll wait on me
If I get there early and I get the right seat
My love life's hurting now, that's for sure
And she's a good enough reason to be living for
I sip my coffee and I close my eyes
Lean back in my chair and I fantasize
About being the guy that take her away
Put some distance between her and her sad yesterdays
If I was your man, honey, you could be sure
You ain't gonna work as no waitress no more
Ain't gonna work as no waitress no more
Ain't gonna work as no waitress no more
If I was your man, honey, you could be sure
You ain't gonna work as no waitress no more
Now dig this, you gotta picture in your mind
The scene as I've already better described
But I guess I feel asleep and started talking out loud
Cause when I opened my eyes, I was staring at a crowd
My little baby's on my lap, she says, "Tell me once more
I don't wanna work as no waitress no more
Ain't gonna work as no waitress no more
Ain't gonna work as no waitress no more
I'm your man, you could be sure
You ain't gonna work as no waitress no more
Ain't gonna work as no waitress no more
Ain't gonna work as no waitress no more
If I was your man, you could be sure
You ain't gonna work as no waitress no no no no no more
No no no no no more
No no no no no more, more, more
I'm your man, you could be sure
You ain't gonna work as no waitress no more
