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
Love, I swore that no one swears
Love, it's a sorry af fair
Said I know where all the blues are
I said, now a man is born to
Just because he's only human
To drown out his past regrets
With coffee and cigarettes
And I'm mornin' in the mornin'
And in between the nicotine,
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,
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 just want a good old cup
if you know what I'm talkin' about
Sit right down here next to me
We'll smoke a couple of packs
You know what I'm talkin' about
