One Cup of Coffee

Lyrics
One cup of coffee, then I'll go
The singer plans to have one cup of coffee before leaving.
Though I just dropped by to let you know
The visit is a brief one, and the singer wants to inform the listener of their impending departure.
That I'm leaving you tomorrow
The singer is expressing that they will be leaving the next day.
I'll cause you no more sorrow:
The singer promises not to cause any more sadness or pain.
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.
Reiteration of the plan to have one cup of coffee before leaving.
I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
The singer mentions bringing money as advised by a lawyer.
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you
Despite bringing money, the singer acknowledges that it cannot compensate for the emotional hurt they caused.
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
The money won't replace the love that has been lost.
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go.
Reiteration of the plan to have one cup of coffee before departing.
Tell the kids I came last night
The singer requests the listener to inform the children about their visit the previous night.
And kissed them while they slept

Make my coffee sweet and warm
The singer asks for the coffee to be made sweet and warm, reminiscent of past moments.
Just the way you used to lie in my arms.
The singer recalls the comforting way the listener used to lie in their arms.
I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
Reiteration of bringing money as advised by a lawyer.
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you
The acknowledgment that money cannot replace the pain caused to the listener.
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
Money cannot substitute for the love that has been lost.
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go
Reiteration of the plan to have one cup of coffee before departing.
One cup of coffee, then I'll go
Repetition of the intent to have one final cup of coffee before leaving.
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.
Reiteration of the plan to have one cup of coffee before departing.
