There's a stain on my notebook Where your coffee cup was And there's ash in the pages Now I've got myself lost I was writing to tell you That my feelings tonight Are a stain on my notebook That rings your goodbye Now she's gone And I'm back on the beat A stain on my notebook Says nothing to me Now she's gone And I'm out with a friend (Out with a friend) With lips full of pa**ion and coffee in bed With the way that you left me I can hardly contain (Hardly contain) The hurt and the anger And the joy of the pain (Joy of the pain) Now knowing I am single There'll be fire in my eyes (Fire in my eyes) And a stain on my notebook For a new love tonight (New love tonight) Now she's gone And I'm back on the beat A stain on my notebook Says nothing to me Now she's gone And I'm out with a friend (Out with a friend) With lips full of pa**ion And coffee in bed Now she's gone (Now she's gone) And I'm out with a friend (Out with a friend) With lips full of pa**ion And coffee in bed From lips without pa**ion To the lips with a kiss There's nothing of your love That I'll ever miss The stain on my notebook Remains all that's left Of the memory of late nights And coffee in bed Of the memory of late nights And coffee in bed Now she's gone And I'm back on the beat A stain on my notebook Says nothing to me Now she's gone And I'm out with a friend With lips full of pa**ion And coffee in bed Music and lyrics by Chris Difford and Glenn Tillbrook
