Ruth Etting
You’re The Cream In My Coffee

[Verse 1]
I'm not a poet
How well I know it
I've never been a raver
But when I speak of you
I rave a bit, it's true

[Verse 2]
I'm wild about you
I'm lost without you
You give my life its flavor
What sugar does for tea
That's what you do for me

[Chorus 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

[Chorus 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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Most girls tell love tales
And each phrase dovetails
You've heard each known way
This way is my own way:

[Chorus 3]
You're the sail of my loveboat
You're the captain and crew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

[Vocal Interlude]

[Refrain]
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

[Vocal Interlude]

[Refrain]
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You are my life saver
You bring out that certain flavor
So dear, this is clear, dear
You're my, oh, dear!
[Chorus]
You're the sail of my loveboat
You're the captain and crew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

[Outro]
You
Sweet, adorable you
