Singer: etta james

it's early in the morning

about a quarter till three

over cigarettes and coffee

now

and to tell you that

honey since i met you

baby since i met you

ooh

and all the good looking girls i've met

they just don't seem to fit in

knowing this particularly sad

just talking over cigarettes and drinking coffee

ooh now

and whole my heart cries out

love at last i've found you

ooh now

and honey won't you let me

just be my whole life around you

and while i complete

and walk down this hour with me

and i would love it

since i met you

'cause i've got you

so early in the morning

and i've got you

and you've got me

and we'll have each other

and we don't

we don't want nothing but joy
