[Intro]
Table for one, please.

No, I'm not waiting for anyone.

Yes, alone... solo... one person... Just me!

...

Why does everybody find that so hard to understand?

[Verse 1]
Corner table, candlelight
Ordered something overpriced
Phone face down, nowhere to be
Perfect little night with me

Menu open, heels kicked free
Nobody requiring anything
Then the waitress brings champagne

"I didn't order—?"

Ah.

Him again.

[Pre-Chorus]
He raises his glass
I raise one brow

Cute gesture

Still not coming over now

Then another pulls the empty chair

Oh, for God's sake...

Why are you there?

[Chorus]
Table for one
How hard can that be?
There's an empty chair
It didn't ask for company

Keep sending champagne
I'll let you waste your money
But don't send yourself over
You're interrupting me, honey

Table for one
No, nobody's late
I'm not waiting for someone

I'm waiting for my steak

So take back your smile
And whatever line you've begun

I didn't come here lonely

I came here
For one

[Post-Chorus]

No, you can't sit there.

...

Yes, I'm sure.

[Verse 2]
Dessert arrives from table three
At least somebody understands me
Chocolate, cream, expensive plate

That can stay

You can't

Thanks anyway.

Flowers next, enormous things
Blocking half of everything
I move them gently to the floor

Lovely

Now where was I before?

A shadow falls across my wine

"Mind if I join you?"

Actually, I mind.

[Pre-Chorus]
Another suit
Another grin
Another man convinced he'll win

Then comes the line
I've heard all night:

"A woman like you
Shouldn't eat alone"

...

Right.

[Chorus]
Table for one
How hard can that be?
There's an empty chair
It didn't ask for company

Keep sending champagne
I'll let you waste your money
But don't send yourself over
You're interrupting me, honey

Table for one
No, nobody's late
I'm not waiting for someone

I'm waiting for my steak

So take back your smile
And whatever line you've begun

I didn't come here lonely

I came here
For one

[Bridge]
And what does that mean?!
"A woman like you shouldn't eat alone."

...

A woman like me
Shouldn't have to explain
What "alone" means

I dressed for myself
I ordered my wine
I chose this table
I chose this time

That empty chair
Isn't your big chance

It's furniture

Now kindly...

Give it some distance

[Break]
Waitress?

Could we perhaps stop
Seating strangers at my dinner?

Thank you.

[Final Chorus]
Table for one
Now we're getting somewhere
Dinner tastes much better
Without somebody in that chair

Keep sending champagne
Dessert is welcome too
If wasting money makes you happy

Who am I to stop you?

Table for one
And everything is right
Good food, good wine
And finally a quiet night

No number
No name
No "maybe when I'm done"

I didn't come here lonely

I came here
For one

[Outro]
Waitress?

Another glass, please.

And if anybody asks...

This chair is taken.

...

By my handbag.
