I watch her pickin' up their-eir tips off the ta-ables
And see them smile as she brings ano-other round
That dress she's wearin' show-ows she's all wo-oman
And it reminds me I once had what they-ey want now

That girl who waits on ta-ables
Used to wait for me at home
And she waited
Till all her lo-ove was go-one
I'm too late but I still worship
The floo-oor she's dancin' o-on
That girl who waits on tables
Used to wait for me at ho-ome

I see her playin' that o-ol' juke box with their dimes
It's a song about a fool who di-id her wrong
And I'll wait for her agai-ain till closin' time
But when she goes home tonight I'll be alo-one

That girl who waits on ta-ables
Used to wait for me at home
And she waited
Till all her lo-ove was go-one
I'm too late but I still worship
The floo-oor she's dancin' o-on
That girl who waits on tables
Used to wait for me at ho-ome
