When I wake up in the morning, when the day is new
I never know exactly what I wanna do
Iâm as cranky as a hobo sleeping in the cold
And those birds are celebrating another day unfolding, hey
I hate the light thatâs shining in the cracks of my eyes
And I hate all the pains, my back ainât telling no lies
I know I got to take a shower, I know I need to shave
My brain is trying to figure out how it wants me to behave, hey
And then I see, my love coming round for me
Coming my way, sheâs coming my way
Oh yeah itâs hot, what my babyâs got is hot
Coming my way, sugarâs coming my way
But I donât need no sugar, give me black coffee
The clouds in my head are disappearing and my throat is feeling the heat
And suddenly I know what it is I really need
I say âdrop the paper darling and Iâll show you what Iâve gotâ
âItâs not a big surprise, I know, but baby itâs a lotâ, hey
Iâm walking in her footsteps, yes Iâm following behind
The moves she makes are making movies in my mind
She gently pushes me around and drops me in the Fat Boy
She whispers âoh, youâre going to be so glad we met boyâ, hey
And then I see, my love coming round for me
Coming my way, sheâs coming my way
Oh yeah itâs hot, what my babyâs got is hot
Coming my way, sugarâs coming my way
And with a smile she gives another black coffee
When love is âround the corner try to grab it if you can
Or youâll end up on your own because she picked another man
If you really want to have a good time with your baby
Donât give an explanation âbout your taste, not even maybe
Lie a little âbout the way you feel with Starbucks on your mind
That your constricted throat ainât gonna feel much better till you find a cup of black coffee
Just give her everything youâve got and more sheâll ever need
No way youâre gonna say that nothing in the world can beat a cup of black coffee
