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 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 Most men tell love tales And each phrase dovetails You’ve heard each known way This way is my own way You’re the sail of my love boat You’re the captain and crew You will always be my necessity I’d be lost without you Most men tell love tales And each phrase dovetails You’ve heard each known way This way is my own way 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
