lyrics

Smell The Coffee

i don't know why you get sentimental
sitting thinking 'bout the other lovers
that you once had
i don't know why you'd wanna tie your guts in knots
keep poking at the tender spots
of love that's gone bad

if you want it
you got it
i could never argue
i could never do a thing about it
if you want to
you can stay with me

you fill your mouth with those sweetly sour memories
and all you'll get is gum disease
and ego decay
your kiss is twisted with sorrow from a garbage can
and anger for some other man
both are away

if you want it
you got it
i could never argue
i could never do a thing about it
if you want to
you can stay with me

and if your lonely life can't find some kind of solace
here's a tender promise
things won't get better
if your past can't ever be forgotten
love will slowly rotten
though you won't see

if you want it
you got it
i could never argue
i could never do a thing about it
if you want to
you can stay with me

you woke last night, through a hole in your bedroom wall
saw him there twelve feet tall
the lizard jimmy
i can see that the dangers of misery
to you are normality
smell the coffee

if you want it
you got it
i could never argue
i could never do a thing about it
if you want to
you can stay with me
stay with me
if you want to
you can stay with me
