Well,
I'm
feeling mighty lonesome
I haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor and watch the door
And in between I drink black coffee
Ever since my gal went away
I said it's drivin' me crazy
And my hair is turnin' gray
Well, I'm talkin' to the shadows
One o 'clock to four
Love, I swore that no one swears
All I do is pour
A black coffee
Love, it's a sorry af fair
It's a sorry affair
Said I know where all the blues are
Cause, baby,
I should have been there
I said, now a man is born to
love a woman
Workin' and slamin'
to pay her debts
Just because he's only human
To drown out his past regrets
With coffee and cigarettes
And I'm mornin' in the mornin'
I'm mornin' at night
And in between the nicotine,
not much hard to fight
Oh, that black coffee,
I'm as down as I can be
Well, it's drivin' me crazy
Yeah, just waitin' for my baby
to come on back home to me
Yeah, you know what I want now,
baby
That's right, mama, come on over here
Sit right down next to me
I want to talk to you now
I don't want no cappuccino
I don't want no espresso
I don't want no latte
I just want a good old cup
of Colombian roast
if you know what I'm talkin' about
That's right, mama
Sit right down here next to me
We'll smoke a couple of packs
during the chorus
You know what I'm talkin' about
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
You
