[Verse 1]
You're the cream in my coffee
You're the salt in my stew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

[Verse 2]
You're the starch in my collar
You're the lace in my shoe
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

[Chorus]
Now, most men tell love tales
And each phrase dovetails
You've heard each known way
This way is my own way, dear

[Refrain]
You're the sail in my love boat
You're the captain and crew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Now, most guys tell love tales
And each phrase dovetails
You've heard each known way
This way is my own way, dear

[Refrain]
You're the sail in my love boat
You're the captain and crew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you
