Youre the cream in my coffee, Youre the salt in my stew; You will always be my necessity Id be lost without you. Youre the starch in my collar, Youre the lace in my shoe; You will always be my necessity Id be lost without you. Most men tell love tails, And each phrase dovetails. Youve heard each known way, This way is my own way. Youre the sail of my love boat, Youre the captain and crew; You will always be my necessity Id be lost without you. You give life savor, Bring out its flavor; So this is clear, dear, Youre my worcestershire, dear. Youre the sail of my love boat, Youre the captain and crew; You will always be my necessity Id be lost without you.
