The Pointer Sisters - Yes We Can Can

Black Coffee

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor from nine to four
In between I drink

Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
Never know a Sunday
In this weekday rue

I'm talking to the shadow
One o'clock 'till four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
And all I do is pour

Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry

They'll is man was born to go a lovin'
And a woman is born to weep and pray
To stay at home and tend her oven
And down her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes

I'm Moanin' all the mornin'
Moanin' all the night
And in between, it's nicotine
I ain't got no heart to fight it

Black coffee
Feelin' low, low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy
Waitin' for my baby to maybe come around
Oh, it's drivin' me crazy
Waitin' for my baby to maybe just come by here
