I keep going back to Joe's 
To that table in the corner
Sippin' wine and staring at the door

Our old waiter knows we're through
Still he sets a place for you 
Everything the way it was before

I keep going back to Joe's
But the man who plays piano 
Never plays your favorite melody

Joe keeps busy at the bar
Never asks me where you are
He was there when you walked out on me
Now I pray you'll walk back in
And you'll say, "What fools we've been"
And we'll celebrate a happy new beginning

Chances are you'll never show
But you'll know just where to find me 
Every night until it's time to close

Just in case you miss me, too
I'll be there to welcome you 
That's why I keep going back... 
That's why I keep going back... 
To Joe's
