She puts the coffee on the counter before he takes his seat
And slides the sugar closer to him she knows he likes it sweet
And then she lingers with busy fingers waiting for his smile
They talk about the rainy weather she's thinkin all the while
What she wants to say is
I can love a man like you oh how I wish you knew
I have seen you're good and kind and strong enough for two
You could sweep me off my feet and carry me away
But all she says is have a nice day
They talk about how unemployment is finally comin down
The factory that's gonna bring some life back to this town
She wonders if his words mean more than what it really seems
And she's still lookin for the courage to say just what she means
What she wants to say is
I can love a man like you oh how I wish you knew
I have seen you're good and kind and strong enough for two
I'm more woman than I can show you in this old cafe
But all she says is have a nice day
He winks once then he's gone she's got time to kill
And in her dreams she's leavin with him she knows some day she will
What she wants to say is
I can love a man like you oh how I wish you knew
I have seen you're good and kind and strong enough for two
I'm more woman than I can show you in this old cafe
But all she says is oh all she says is oh all she says is
Have a nice day
