Black Coffee Songtext
von Jimmy Maddon

Her smile played a very different tune
As her eyes scanned the crowded room
The elegance she displayed yesterday
She said I′ve shagged it all away and are you coming out to play

The morning didn't have the same view
My coffee′s tasting bitter was I looking any thinner
The knife that was in my back
She told me not to worry coz' she put it in there for me

Break free contemplation
As she reeled me right back in
Her best was the steam of the kettle
Her worst was the spin of the spoon


Joint tucked behind her ear
Seductively bit on her lace
Lent in and whispered to me
With a covert look on her face

Her words were ground coffee beans
She was the coffee that everybody needed
Oh no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
Oh no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no

And as she took another breath out of my cigarette
She says I regret to tell you I can no longer know you
And as she took another breath out of my cigarette
She says I regret to tell you I can no longer know you
