Not A Bad Thing

(Dave Berg/Sunny Russ/Deana Bryant) I'm sittin' in this cafe People talkin' so loud I can't hear myself think That's not a bad thing The coffee keeps on coming The waiter who keeps smilin' As I'm ridin' on a river of caffeine An' that's not a bad thing I used to feel sorry for someone like me In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night I used to say: "It just ain't right." How could anybody ever have any fun Without somebody, without someone? It never dawned on me The possibility That it's not a bad thing Those naggin' thoughts about you How I left without you tonight: You know, they're few and far between The waiter's name is Joey, he told me And that's when I noticed he ain't wearing any ring An' that's not a bad thing And there is a tug on the edge of my heart It's you again sayin': "Don't you start lettin' go of me." But I ain't listenin' For once in my life, I'll feel what I feel Let it be, let it be real Let it flow through me An' wash me clean That's not a bad thing As I'm drivin' home, I'm thinkin' The worst might be over Or maybe I'm a little bit naive But the street lights seem brighter As I walk to my front door And I'm all alone when I turn the key An' that's not a bad thing I used to feel sorry for someone like me In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night I used to say: "It just ain't right." How could anybody ever have any fun Without somebody, without someone? It never dawned on me The possibility That it's not a bad thing
