An Empty Cup and a Broken Date Songtext
von Buddy Holly and The Crickets

One lonely night (one lonely night)
At this drive-in (at this drive-in)
And now I know (and now I know)
What a fool I′ve been (what a fool I've been)

She was to meet me (an empty cup, a broken date)
We had a date (a broken date, an empty cup)
A date at seven, I dreamed of heaven
Now it′s way past eight


She just drove by (she just drove by)
With another guy (with another guy)
No wonder I (no wonder I)
Can't help but cry (can't help but cry)

(An empty cup, a broken date)
(Now it′s way past eight)
(An empty cup, a broken date)

To think she never cared (an empty cup, a broken date)
Just tears me up (a broken date, an empty cup)
Now all I have to show for love, is this empty cup

Just like this Coke (just like this Coke)
My love is gone (my love is gone)
I′ve hit the bottom
Now I'm all alone (all alone)
