Black Coffee Lyrics - Black Coffee - Peggy Lee

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 

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 

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 

Now man was born to go a lovin' 

But was a woman 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 thinkin' 'bout my baby 

Might maybe come around 

Come around
