Lyrics
Verse1
It?s just a cup of coffee, I wish it was some thing more
Lift it to my lips, yeah, I?m feeling raw
This love?s too hot to handle, I need to be cool
Getting all steamed up, thinking how to get even with that fool
Verse 2
It?s time to put the lid back on, and can the sugar too
I want to pour it down the drain, along with thoughts so cruel
But I need his love, and he?ll pay the price
Being addicted this way, just ain?t nice
Chorus
They call me coffee, I come in black , I come in white
Good in the morning and late, late, late at night
You can stir me anyway, then there?s nothing I won?t do
But if what I want is something more from you.
Verse 3
Something?s clocking midnight, alone here in this bar
Just got to the part, where the brakes fail on his car
Grinding up his bones, roasting on a fire
Freeze dried remains, kept in a glass jar
