lyrics

You say I'm too young
You say I'm too old
I always do what I should
I never do what I'm told

All I know is that I can always count on me
I'd rather be your coffee than everyone's cup of tea

You say I can't sing
I know I can't dance
Some say my tie
Doesn't match my pants
Doesn't match my shirt, doesn't match my shoes

I'd rather be your metal than everyone's 12-bar blues
I'd rather be your coffee than everyone's cup of tea

You can't please all the people all the time
And you aren't all people
Some of the people pleased sometimes
Means nothing if not for you

You say I'm too short
You say I'm too tall
I'm falling behind
But I'm always on the ball

All I know is that I am keeping up with me
I'd rather be your coffee than everyone's cup of tea
