on You're the Cream in My Coffee (Original Recordings 1928 -1931) (2012), Presenting Ruth Etting (1926)

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, its true

I'm wild about you
I'm lost without you
You give my life its flavor
What sugar does for tea
Thats what you do for me

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 girls 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 loveboat
You're the captain and crew
You will always be
My necessity
I'd be lost without you

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 will always be
My necessity
I'd be lost without you

You will always be
My necessity
I'd be lost without you

You are my life savor
You bring out that certain flavor
So dear, this is clear, dear
You're my worcestershire, dear!

You're the sail in my loveboat
You're the captain and crew
You will always be
My necessity
I'd be lost without you

You will always be
My necessity
I'd be lost without you
You
Sweet, adorable you
