Not A Bad Thing Lyrics - Pain To Kill - Terri Clark

(Dave Berg/Sunny Russ/Deana Bryant) 

I'm sittin' in this cafe, 

People talkin' so loud I can't hear myself think. 

That's not a bad thing. 

The coffee keeps on coming, 

The waiter who keeps smilin' 

as I'm ridin' on a river of caffeine, 

An' that's not a bad thing. 

I used to feel sorry for someone like me, 

In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night. 

I used to say: "It just ain't right." 

How could anybody ever have any fun, 

Without somebody, without someone? 

It never dawned on me, 

The possibility, 

That it's not a bad thing.

Those naggin' thoughts about you, 

How I left without you tonight: 

You know, they're few and far between. 

The waiter's name is Joey, he told me, 

And that's when I noticed he ain't wearing any ring. 

An' that's not a bad thing. 

And there is a tug on the edge of my heart, 

It's you again sayin': "Don't you start lettin' go of me." 

But I ain't listenin'. 

For once in my life, I'll feel what I feel, 

Let it be, let it be real. 

Let it flow through me, 

An' wash me clean. 

That's not a bad thing.

As I'm drivin' home, I'm thinkin', 

The worst might be over, 

Or maybe I'm a little bit naive. 

But the street lights seem brighter, 

As I walk to my front door, 

And I'm all alone when I turn the key. 

An' that's not a bad thing. 

I used to feel sorry for someone like me, 

In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night. 

I used to say: "It just ain't right." 

How could anybody ever have any fun, 

Without somebody, without someone? 

It never dawned on me, 

The possibility, 

That it's not a bad thing.
