Empty cup (and a broken date)

Buddy Holly · The Chirping Crickets [1957]

One lonely night - at this drive-in

and now I know - 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 - with another guy

no wonder I can't help but cry



To think she never cared - just tears me up

now all I have to show for love - is this empty cup



Just like this Coke - my love is gone

I've hit the bottom - now I'm all alone
