Black Coffee Lyrics
One, one, two, one, one, two,
Move over, move over, yeah you heard what I said, move over.
I feel so lonely, haven't slept a wink.
I walk the floor, and watch the door.
And in between I drink black coffee.
Love's a hand-me-down brew.
I never know why sunday in this weekday brew?
I'm talking to the shadows, one o'clock till four,
And Lord how slow the moments go.
All I do is pour black coffee.
Since the blues caught my eye,
I'm hanging out on monday,
But sunday dreams too dry
They say a man is born to go alone
And a woman is born to weep and fret
To stay at home and drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes.
And moody all the morning, moody all night.
And in between I drink black coffee.
Black coffee.
Move over, move over, yeah you heard what I said, move over.
I feel so lonely, haven't slept a wink.
I walk the floor, and watch the door.
And in between I drink black coffee.
Love's a hand-me-down brew.
I never know why sunday in this weekday brew?
I'm talking to the shadows, one o'clock till four,
And Lord how slow the moments go.
All I do is pour black coffee.
Since the blues caught my eye,
I'm hanging out on monday,
But sunday dreams too dry
They say a man is born to go alone
And a woman is born to weep and fret
To stay at home and drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes.
And moody all the morning, moody all night.
And in between I drink black coffee.
Black coffee.

Such a fantastic song. And these lyrics are wrong. This is a... er... cover (kind of) of an Ella Fitzgerald song, so the lyrics should be more like:
One, one, two, one, one, two, Move over, move over Yeah, you heard what I said, move over.
I feel so lonely Haven't slept a wink I walk the floor and 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 talking to the shadows from 1 o'clock til 4 And lord, how slow the moments go All I do is pour Black coffee Since the blues caught my eye I'm hanging out on Monday My Sunday dreams to dry They say a man is born to go a lovin' And a woman is born to weep and fret To stay at home And drown her past regrets In coffee and cigarettes And moody all the morning Moody all night And in between I drink Black coffee Black coffee
Very great it seems like this about a woman who regrets a certain event made and trying to forget it by drinking black coffee
keep in mind that black coffee contains no sugar.Sugar as we know is sweet and people tell others to give them some sugar as a kiss.Sugar can also be love in a relationship.Therefor maybe she drunk black coffee to ''tone'' out a past lover or something with only the base and no sugar(lover)
