Diner Listen to the song and put the verbs into the correct gaps

Lyrics No, she does not really see me

1
I am sitting in the morning ‘Cause she sees her own reflection
At the diner on the corner And 9 _______________ not to notice
2
I am waiting at the counter That 10 _______________ her skirt
For the man to pour the coffee And while 11 _______________ her stockings
And he fills it only halfway Her hair 12 _______________
And before I even argue
Oh, this rain, it will continue
3
he is looking out the window Through the morning as 12 _______________
At somebody coming in To the bells of the cathedral
13
_______________ of your voice
“It is always nice to see you”
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in

And 6 I’m pretending not to see them And
instead I pour the milk he is looking
I am sitting
I open up the paper I am thinking
There’s a story of an actor I am waiting
Who had died while he was drinking I’m feeling
He was no one I had heard of I’m listening
And 7 _______________ to the horoscope I’m pretending I’m trying
And looking for the funnies I’m turning
When _______________ someone watching is getting wet

me And so I raise my head she is shaking

she’s hitching up she’s straightening they
There’s a woman on the outside are kissing
Looking inside does she see me?
