Tom’s Diner (Demo) Lyrics

[Refrain: Britney Spears]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 1: Britney Spears]
I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in

[Refrain: Britney Spears]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 2: Britney Spears]
"It is always nice to see you,"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella
And I look the other way
As they are kissing their hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
Instead, I pour the milk

[Refrain: Britney Spears]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Bridge: Windy Wagner/Giorgio Morodor vocals]
Everybody's welcome
Come on, come on in
Sit yourself down
The funnies never ends
Love is the drug
That makes you want to drink
Till the morning after
[Verse 3: Britney Spears]
(I o-o) I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of
And I'm turning to the horoscope
Looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me
And so I raise my head

[Refrain: Britney Spears]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
