Morning Much Better

Cissy Houston

Compositor: Michael James Zager / Aram Schefrin

How many times have I told you, baby
That I'd do anything you say
But listen here, daddy
I got a new feeling
That you can't do me this way
Ain't said no to your love
And never did and never never plan to do
But if you want to keep me happy, baby
Better hear what I'm saying to you

Coming to night I might dig being up
For floating around on a cloud
Watching people walking past my window
Playing my music out loud
Coming to noon I can't think about nothing
But the daylight blazing through
And the afternoon is a no count time
'Cause I got my business to do

Well I could probably function
For a little conjunction, yeah
But I usually like it
In the morning much better, yeah

Most people think that the midnight trip
Is the proper kind of scene
But I come on feeling very foggy
And I never can cut it too clean
People think they're at the top of their form
After staying up half of the night
But I know after a good night's sleep
Well I can get it on all right

I ain't never resisted, lord
When you have insisted, no
But I usually like it
In the morning much better, yeah

Early in the morning with the Sun just up
And the air so fresh and sweet
Folks just getting their boots pulled on
And they're straggling out to the street
Taken their time while before they start
In to cutting on their wood
I can't say just what it is sugar
But I know it sure feels good

Pull the curtain behind me, yeah
You better come find me
'Cause I usually like it
In the morning much better
