Lyrics
She is a resturant waitress Serving her food every day Customers come in to ask her What things they ought to have ate

Right by the counter she sits down As soon as the frond door opens She puts on a smile to convince them To stay there and pull up a chair

Well she is a restaurant waitress But not really happy in life Waiting to seize the right moment To go an leave it all behind

The customers just keep on coming A coffee, some bread or pâté They don't really care what they call her As long as there's specials today

She more than a restuarant waitress She tries to be it every day Her loving and teasing relinquished When she walks on in to her work

And now that they day is all over The shop shuts the light and the door She contemplates being unhappy She wonders if there can be more For she is a restuarant waitress But then she is also a girl A girl who can live and be lovely Someone who can love and be loved
