cigarettes & coffee

it's early in the morning
about a quarter till 3
i'm sitting here talking with you
now
and to tell you that
i've been so satisfied
since i met you
all the places that i've been around
and all the good looking boys i've met
they just don't seem to fit in
knowing this particularly sad, yeah
but it seemed so natural
that you and i are here
just talking over cigarettes and drinking coffee
and whole my heart cries out

if you would take things under consideration
and walk down this hour with me
and i would love it
and i'll like to show you, well
i've known nothing but good old joy
since i met you

i would love to have another drink of coffee, now
and please, help me smoke this one more cigarette, now
i don't want no cream and sugar
but just let me enjoy
help me to enjoy
this good time that we'll have

and we don't, we don't want nothing but joy
nothing but joy...

-Otis Redding
