Someone' Sweet Tea

[Intro]

(Verse 1)
You like your coffee black and strong,
Straight up truth, no sugar on.
I talk slow and take my time,
Put a little honey in every line.
You said I ain’t your type, that’s fine,
We don’t have to cross that line.
Everybody’s got their taste,
And I ain’t tryin’ to change yours anyway.

(Pre-Chorus)
You can leave me on that shelf,
But I’m good just bein’ myself.

(Chorus)
I might not be your cup of tea,
But I’m someone’s glass of sweet tea.
Cold on ice on a front porch swing,
Just right for somebody.
Good not bein’ your bitter brew,
I ain’t what you’re into.
Nothing wrong with me —
can’t you see?
I’m someone’s glass of sweet tea.

(Verse 2)
You chase sparks, I like slow burns,
You want fast, I take my turns.
I’m small-town night and fireflies,
You’re city lights and neon signs.
That don’t make me less than gold,
Just a different story told.
Somebody out there’s gonna see
Exactly what you couldn’t see.

(Pre-Chorus)
You can call it what you want,
But I know what I’ve got.

(Chorus)
I might not be your cup of tea,
But I’m someone’s glass of sweet tea.
Cold on ice on a front porch swing,
Just right for somebody.
Good not bein’ your bitter brew,
I ain’t what you’re into.
Nothing wrong with me —
can’t you see?
I’m someone’s glass of sweet tea.

(Bridge)
Everybody’s got a flavor,
Everybody’s got a flame.
Just ’cause I don’t fit your picture
Don’t mean I need to change.

(Final Chorus – lifted)I might not be your cup of tea,
But I’m someone’s glass of sweet tea.
Poured out smooth with a little shine,
Perfect for the right kind of somebody.
So go on and sip what you like —
I’ll be just fine bein’ me.
Yeah, I might not be your cup of tea…
But I’m someone’s sweet tea.
