Terri Clark - Not A Bad Thing lyrics

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.
