Not A Bad Thing

I'm sitting in this cafe People talking so loud I can't hear myself think And that's not a bad thing The coffee keeps on coming The waiter keeps on smilin' As I'm riding on a river of caffeine And that's not a bad thing [Chorus] I used to feel sorry for someone like me In a corner booth pretending to read on a Friday night 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 nagging thoughts about you How I'll live 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 And that's not a bad thing And there's a tug on the edge of my heart It's you again saying Don't you start letting go of me But I ain't listening For once in my life I'll feel what I feel Let it be Let it be real Let it flow through me And wash me clean That's not a bad thing Let it be real Let it flow through me And wash me clean That's not a bad thing As I'm driving home I'm thinking The worst might be over Or maybe I'm a little bit naive But the streetlights seem brighter As I walk to my front door And I'm all alone when I turn the key And that's not a bad thing [Chorus] --- Not a Bad Thing - Terri Clark
