There's a little cafe' on the corner of town Lucy works there 'til the sun goes down It ain't very much but she brings home the bacon and the bread We got a mortgage we pay just a little bit on But it seems like all of our money is gone Before we get a chance to get ahead That's small stuff, we don't sweat the small stuff Why worry about the mortgage and the minimum wage Traffic and the taxes and the coming of age Small stuff There's a comfort in the knowing there's a spirit in us Giving us the courage and the wisdom to trust In a love that's so much greater than all the small stuff So we don't sweat the small stuff There's a little bitty hole in the ceiling above Sometimes the rain drips down on our temple of love We have to put a pot smack dab in the middle of the bed Somebody hit my car at the diner last night Had to drive it home with one taillight When I went out this morning, the engine was dead That's small stuff, we don't sweat the small stuff Why worry about the mortgage and the minimum wage Traffic and the taxes and the coming of age Small stuff There's a comfort in the knowing there's a spirit in us Giving us the courage and the wisdom to trust In a love that's so much greater than all the small stuff So we don't sweat the small stuff There's a little cafe' on the corner of town Lucy works there 'til the sun goes down And she don't sweat the small stuff
