Song Lyrics

"Cup O Tea"

by Newsboys
Album: Take Me to Your Leader

"Kick Start" - his overdue life as a star
Waiting tables hadn't done that so far.
"Spotlight" - a dream for many a year.
The leather jacket, Jimmy's ever-ready stage wear.

Sorry I'm not your cup o' tea,
But I don't mind.
Yeah, I said I don't mind.
At least I know you're thinking about me.
Yeah, I don't mind.
Yeah, I said I don't mind.

"Good stuff people don't know when they hear!"
Mumbled something 'bout "Pearls in a pig's ear."
"Old School." Thirty-two and knowing it all.
Who wants to listen to a single-sided phone call'

Sorry I'm not your cup o' tea,
But I don't mind.
Yeah, I said I don't mind.
At least I know you're thinking about me.
Yeah, I don't mind.
Yeah, I said I don't mind.

Bring it all into perspective.
The tongue will steer the ship ahoy,
Spark up a flame,
Feel the pain of habanero sauce.
A word's forever.
When we speak, we set 'em free,
So watch your mouth,
And you be careful what you say, Jimmy.

Sorry I'm not your cup o' tea,
But I don't mind.
Yeah, I said I don't mind.
At least I know you're thinking about me.
Yeah, I don't mind.
Yeah, I said I don't mind.
