Black Coffee - Thad Jones, Ruth Brown, Mel Lewis

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
