Don't put whipped cream in my coffee.
Don't put a lime wedge in my beer.
Don't want pepper on my salad.
I just wish that she were here.

I don't need to hear your specials.
I'll just have your cheapest wine.
I don't want an appetizer.
I just wish that she was mine.

I don't need the decorations.
I don't need the dessert cart.
I just need her here beside me
With her head against my heart.

Everything is pale without her.
All this cool, uptown decor.
I can't even taste the hot sauce.
I just sit and watch the door.

Don't put whipped cream in my coffee.
Don't put a lime wedge in my beer.
Don't put pepper on my salad.
I just wish that she were here.
I just wish that she were here.
