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

Now most men tell love tails

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
