[Intro]
   

[Verse 1]

Can't meet you

 for dinner

At the Italian

 place
      
It's where I m

et your family
      
Some words wer

e exchanged
       
I'd suggest th

e jazz bar
       
On MaryAnn Str

eet
           
But you'd buy 

me a drink
        
And we know wh

ere that leads

, so

[Chorus]
    
I'll meet you 

for coffee
       
'Cause if we h

ave wine
             
You'll say tha

      
t you want me
            
I know that's 

  
a lie
   
If I didn't lo

ve you

It would be fi

ne
             
Meet you for c

           
offee, only fo

    
r coffee

Nowhere else i

s safe
            
Every place le

              
ads back to yo

     
ur place

[Verse 2]
        
He said let's 

do the park
        
'Cause I love 

the park

That may be tr

ue
          
But God forbid

 it gets dark
     
Here come the 

excuses that f

uel the illusi

ons
       
But I'd rather

 feel somethin

g
     
Than nothing a

t all, so

[Chorus]
      
I'll meet you 

for coffee
       
'Cause if we h

ave wine
             
You'll say tha

      
t you want me
            
I know that's 

  
a lie
   
If I didn't lo

ve you

It would be fi

ne
             
Meet you for c

Nowhere else i

Every place le

[Bridge]
           
We've done thi

  
s before
          
And I don't ne

          
ed it anymore


[Chorus]
   
So let's not d

o coffee
   
Let's not even

 try
             
It's better we

  
 leave it
            
And give it so

    
me time
   
If I didn't lo

ve you

It would be fi

ne
             
'Cause if we d

    
o coffee
            
It's never jus

         
t coffee
              
It's never jus

          
t coffee
