I guess I'll take a walk tonight, I know that I can't sleep
And I won't go to bed at all, I'd just lay there and weep
Instead I'll make our favorite spot, that's what I think I'll do
I've got those smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee blues

Smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee all night long
Wonderin' how a love so right could suddenly go wrong
I'd grab the next bus out of town, but I gotta be near you
I've got those smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee blues

(Piano Solo)

Sittin' at a table where my baby carved our names
Wonderin' how our love went wrong, wonderin' who's to blame
Listenin' while the jukebox plays a song that makes me blue
Another cup of coffee and a cigarette or two

Smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee all night long
Wonderin' how a love so right could suddenly go wrong
A lot of other people know the miseries I go through
I've got those smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee blues
