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 it's true.

I'm wild about you

I'm lost without you

You give my life its flavour

What sugar does for tea

That's 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 men tell lovetales

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 nesessity

I'd be lost without you. you.

 

You have a great way

An up-to-date way

Of telling me you love me

It gives such a thrill

I know it always will

My head is turning

And just from learning

Your estimation of me

And as for you, I'll say

I feel the same way.

 

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.

 

You give life savor

Bring out its flavor

So this is clear, dear,

You're my Wocestershire, dear,

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.
