Richard Thompson - Taking My Business Elsewhere lyrics

If she's not here by now Then I guess she's not coming If she's not here by now Then I guess I don't care Waiter, I won't waste your time anymore You've already started to sweep down the floor I guess she's not coming, I'll head for the door I'll be taking my business elsewhere It wasn't for me That spark in her eyes It wasn't for me That halo in her hair When she touched me a lump rose up in my throat But she must act that way with any old soak And waiter, you don't seem to share in the joke So I'll be taking my business elsewhere She called me her fantasy Boldly she kissed me I'll never get over The sheer surprise of her Acting that way And I'm healing okay But for the eyes of her It's cold in the rain And it's dark and it's sad And I'll miss her tonight On my lonely back stair I'm sorry I took up so much of your space I'll move down the street to a friendlier place 'Cos I guess she's not coming and you're sick of my face I'll be taking my business elsewhere
