There's this song that I don't know the words to, and I don't know the name of it, or

the person who sings it. However, I know a few words, so I was hoping someone would know what I was talking about. It starts with a girl singing,"dute do do do, dute do do do, dute do do do" and so on. Then there are some lyrics about her staring in the window of a coffee shop and her hair is soaking wet. Does anyone on Earth know what I'm talking about? It's not a recent song. Thanks!!

Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega



I am sitting



In the morning



At the diner



On the corner



I am waiting



At the counter



For the man



To pour the coffee



And he fills it



Only halfway



And before



I even argue



He is looking



Out the window



At somebody



Coming in



"It is always



Nice to see you"



Says the man



Behind the counter



To the woman



Who has come in



She is shaking



Her umbrella



And I look



The other way



As they are kissing



Their hellos



I'm pretending



Not to see them



Instead



I pour the milk



I open



Up the paper



There's a story



Of an actor



Who had died



While he was drinking



It was no one



I had heard of



And I'm turning



To the horoscope



And looking



For the funnies



When I'm feeling



Someone watching me



And so



I raise my head



There's a woman



On the outside



Looking inside



Does she see me?



No she does not



Really see me



Cause she sees



Her own reflection



And I'm trying



Not to notice



That she's hitching



Up her skirt



And while she's



Straightening her stockings



Her hair



Has gotten wet



Oh, this rain



It will continue



Through the morning



As I'm listening



To the bells



Of the cathedral



I am thinking



Of your voice...



And of the midnight picnic



Once upon a time



Before the rain began...



I finish up my coffee



It's time to catch the train

The song is "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega :)
