Mandie sighed as she looked up at the big clock on the wall. She knew that in any minute the guy of her dreams would walk through that door. She smiled as she heard the bell on the door jingle, as it did everyday at that time.
She puts the coffee on the counter before he takes his seat
And slides the sugar closer to him she knows he likes it sweet
And then she lingers with busy fingers waiting for his smile
They talk about the rainy weather she's thinkin all the while
What she wants to say is
I can love a man like you oh how I wish you knew
I have seen you're good and kind and strong enough for two
You could sweep me off my feet and carry me away
But all she says is have a nice day
The next day; same time, same place; she heard that bell jingle. Mandie looked up and saw him. The guy of her dreams. She smiled and put down the coffee as...
They talk about how unemployment is finally comin down
The factory that's gonna bring some life back to this town
She wonders if his words mean more than what it really seems
And she's still lookin for the courage to say just what she means
She got a dreamy look on her face as she thought about...
What she wants to say is
I can love a man like you oh how I wish you knew
I have seen you're good and kind and strong enough for two
I'm more woman than I can show you in this old cafe
But all she says is have a nice day
She sighed because she knew that today would be one of the last. The last time that door would open and the last time that he would come in...They had the best conversation yet, about him. His future. His plans with his band, *Nsync. Tears come to her eyes as he looks at his watch, because she knows it's time for him to go.
He winks once then he's gone she's got time to kill
And in her dreams she's leavin with him she knows some day she will
What she wants to say is
I can love a man like you oh how I wish you knew
I have seen you're good and kind and strong enough for two
I'm more woman than I can show you in this old cafe
But all she says is oh all she says is oh all she says is
Have a nice day
