歌詞

i thought it was free

(Verse 1)
Sittin' in that old café, just passin' time away,
The waitress with her friendly smile, kept refillin' my cup all day.
I thought I hit the jackpot, free refills all around,
But little did I know, the true cost would soon be found.
(Chorus)
I was drinkin' cup after cup, thinkin' they were all for free,
But when the check came, it was a sight for me to see.
All them cups of coffee, addin' up to quite a sum,
I was just a fool, now my wallet's feelin' numb.
(Verse 2)
With each sip, I felt the warmth, thought life was treatin' me kind,
But reality hit me hard, when it came time to pay in kind.
I guess there ain't no such thing as a free ride in this old world,
Now I'm countin' up the cost, every last bean unfurled.

(Chorus)
I was drinkin' cup after cup, thinkin' they were all for free,
But when the check came, it was a sight for me to see.
All them cups of coffee, addin' up to quite a sum,
I was just a fool, now my wallet's feelin' numb.

(Bridge)
I'll take my lessons bitter, like the taste of burnt grounds,
No more free refills, no more runnin' around.
I'll sip my coffee slow, and I'll pay my dues with pride,
No more illusions, just the truth I'll abide.




(Chorus)
I was drinkin' cup after cup, thinkin' they were all for free,
But when the check came, it was a sight for me to see.
All them cups of coffee, addin' up to quite a sum,
I was just a fool, now my wallet's feelin' numb.



(Outro)
So here's to learnin' hard, and the price I had to pay,
No more freebies, gonna face it, come what may.
I'll take my coffee with a side of reality,
No more illusions, just plain old honesty.
