Lyrics Black Coffee - Thad Jones, Ruth Brown, Mel Lewis

Black Coffee

She smelled like flowers, she tastes like toffee
She kissed me slowly, she held me softly
Got too close and she backed up off me
Left me stoned cold sober, just like black coffee
Just like black coffee
She told me that she'd always be thinkin' of me
She said she wanted me to know that she really did love me
She said she never put no one else above me
Except her monkey, she's like a junkie, just like a junkie
Just like a junkie
It was April 25th, it's up around 80
Found a spot out in the park where the grass is shady
She said her mom's from Jamaica, her father's from Haiti
She's such a pretty lady, she's such a lady
She smelled like flowers, she tastes like toffee
She kissed me slowly, she held me softly
Got too close and she backed up off me
Left me stoned cold sober, just like black coffee
Just like black coffee, just like black coffee
Just like black coffee
