Sittin' in an all nite café 
In a booth back in the corner
Makin' paper wads from napkins
Throwin' toothpicks on the floor
I got a problem I can't solve
So I'm gonna sit here till I figure out
The reason why my baby 
Doesn't love me anymore

Well, it can't be another woman 
'Cause I've never looked at anyone
As long as I've been knowin' her 
And that's a long, long time
I've had so many cups of coffee
Bet you that I'll get an ulcer
Sittin' in this all nite café 
With my baby on my mind

(Instrumental Break)

Sittin' in an all nite café 
Listenin' to the jukebox playin'
Overheard the waitress sayin'
"I wonder why he don't go home"
I'll bet my baby's out with someone
Laughin', dancin' and romancin'
And I'll bet she never thinks of me 
Sittin' here alone

Oh, it can't be another woman 
'Cause I've never looked at anyone
As long as I've been knowin' her 
And that's a long, long time
I drank so many cups of coffee
Bet you that I'll get an ulcer
Sittin' in this all nite café 
With my baby on my mind
I'm sittin' in this all nite café 
With my baby on my mind
