Chorus 1:

Sep'rate tables,
Two lonely people sit at sep'rate tables;
They sit across the room, so near and yet so far,
How casual they are,
Still I can see he wants her so,
But, he's afraid to let her know;
Sep'rate tables,
They were not meant to be at sep'rate tables;
And yet, if he loves her as much as I love you,
I'm sure of what they'll do,
They'll find a sep'rate table just for two.

Chorus 2:

Sep'rate tables,
Two lonely people sit at sep'rate tables;
They sit across the room, so near and yet so far,
How casual they are,
Still I can see he wants her so,
But, he's afraid to let her know;
Sep'rate tables,
They were not meant to be at sep'rate tables;
And yet, if he loves her as much as I love you,
I'm sure of what they'll do,
They'll find a sep'rate table just for two, just for two,
They'll find a sep'rate table just for two.
