Working at the diner
Practice talking like people talk to me
Pour the water and watch them drink it
Make them happy if they can be
Baby, it's a ritual
Sweet something
I wanna be your good company
You'll never leave the table wondering
Aren't they lonesome for something long gone?
Aren't I lonesome for it too?
In a leather booth, with a red glass candle
Share a plate and slide closer to you
Baby, it's a ritual
A sweet something
I wanna be your good company
You'll never leave the table wondering
Baby, it's a ritual
A sweet something
I wanna be your good company
You'll never leave the table wondering
You never leave me wondering
You never leave me wondering
You never leave me wondering
