"The Cafe Closes At Nine" lyrics

Yeah
Look
It's Floetry

The café closes at nine, specifically 9:30 to ten
So, I hope I get your name by then
Or maybe instructions, I don't need to be instructed
But I hate that we did skip introductions

At 8:15, I asked you
What are your dreams and aspirations?
Like, what's your long-term plan?
Would you wanna be a nurse or a millionaire?
Or sit beside a man with money who's been gettin' you there?

At 8:30, I was gettin' nervous
Like, what if all the things I told you in this simple conversation
Never leave this very table?
Or I'm advocating crazy to this beautiful young lady
Maybe she may bear my...

But I got 30 minutes longer
To show you that I'm worth more than bare minimum minutes
I hope you like the contents of my sentence?
And that you're so intrigued
The only thing you want is to listen

But 8:45 was where your lies lied
Said you had more time to talk
But honey, I could see through your disguise
It's time to leave and I can see it in your eyes

So, let me purchase two more drinks to keep you speaking
The bar was closed around this time, I get to thinking
What makes a woman lose her mind? 'Cause she's not easy
But by the time I turned around, she wasn't seated

At nine, the bar closes
I'm running through my mind, what did I say to make her leave?
I hear a voice that yells out, "Hurry dear, or he gon' leave"
I got us reservations and I'm saving you a seat 'til ten

Yeah
Look
It's Floetry

The café closes at nine, specifically 9:30 to ten
So, I hope I get your name by then
Or maybe instructions, I don't need to be instructed
But I hate that we did skip introductions

At 8:15, I asked you
What are your dreams and aspirations?
Like, what's your long-term plan?
Would you wanna be a nurse or a millionaire?
Or sit beside a man with money who's been gettin' you there?

Yeah
Look
It's Floetry
Yeah
