Black Coffee
Marcus Printup Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Put another nickel in, in the nickelodeon
All I want is having you and music, music, music!
I'd do anything for you, anything you'd want me to
All I want is kissing you and music, music, music!
Closer, my dear come closer
The nicest part of any melody
Is when you're dancing close to me
Put another nickel in, in the nickelodeon
All I want is loving you and music, music, music!
