when you said that i'm not your “cup of tea”,
it had me trying out every type of blend
until i got so addicted
i couldn't stop.
i suppose i forgave you then because
you've always been the kind to like
Lipton with milk and sugar
but i prefer my earl grey black and unsweetened.
that showed me how literal your words could get.
once i tried to add creamer and sugar cubes
into my cup and i cried
because it was horrible and i'm sorry you had to
have your Lipton strong and bitter for a few months.
you should have told me earlier,
you didn't have to scald your tongue.
the other day i saw you with her
and you were happy.
i couldn't help but notice she has beautiful skin
and that her smile is gorgeous.
it's all right because you've finally found
someone who's your “cup of tea”.
