I've gone down to the diner
In the town to the east of the city
I've sat at the booth and ordered up
A cup of green tea

I've sat there, doodling on napkins
Slowly emptying the little metal holder
I've written your name on each single napkin
In black ink, nothing special, just over and over

Paper Napkins, I'll confess
I've written your name on a handful or two
Paper Napkins, I'll confess
I sit here, drinking tea, and thinking of you.
Paper Napkins, I'll confess
They're thrown away, but your name's still there
Paper Napkins, I'll confess
I've done this everywhere
I go...

I've gone to a restaurant
In the plaza, on the other side of town
I've looked out the windows and thought of you
While the hostess sat me down

I've ordered food, but while I wait
I started doodling on the paper mat in place...
And by the time, my food arrived
Your name was sketched upon its face

Paper Napkins, I'll confess
I've written your name on a handful or two
Paper Napkins, I'll confess
I sit here, drinking tea, and thinking of you.
Paper Napkins, I'll confess
They're thrown away, but your name's still there
Paper Napkins, I'll confess
I've done this everywhere
I go...
