Black Coffee (Single Version)

Black Coffee - Peggy Lee

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome

Haven't slept a wink

I walk the floor watch the door

And In between I drink

Black coffee

Love's a hand me down brew

I'll never know a Sunday

In this weekday room

I'm talkin to the shadow

One o'clock till four

And Lord

How slow the moments go

When all I do is pour

Black coffee

Since the blues caught my eye

I'm hangin' out on Monday

My Sunday dreams to dry

Now man was born to go a lovin'

But a woman was

Born to weep and fret

And stay at home and tend her oven

And down her past regrets

In coffee and cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin'

Moanin' all the night

And in between it's nicotine

And not much heart to fight

Black coffee

Feelin' low as the ground

It's drivin' me crazy

This waiting for my baby

To maybe come around
