One Cup Of Coffee
Bob Marley · Other Songs - Bob Marley
Than I'll go
Though I just dropped by
To let you know
That I'm Leaving you tomorrow
I'll cause you know more sorrow
One cup of coffee than I'll go
I brought the money
Like the lawyer said to do
But it won't replace the heartaches I caused you
It won't take the place of loving you
I know!
So, One Cup of Coffee
Than I'll go!
Tell the kids I came last night
And kissed them while they slept
Make my coffee sweet and warm
Just the way you used to lie in my arms
I brought the money
Like the lawyer said to do
But it won't replace the heartaches I caused you
It won't take the place of loving you
I know!
So, one cup of coffee
Than I'll go (Repeat 2x)
