[Verse 1] Woke up this morning, needed my cup (yeah) Woke up this morning, Lord I needed my cup But one cup ain't enough no more (no more) Started with Earl Grey, now I can't stop Started with Earl Grey, baby now I can't stop Got twenty different teas sitting on my block (Lord have mercy) [Verse 2] Went to see the doctor, said I need some help Went to see the doctor, said I need some help (help me) But these tea leaves got a hold on me like nothing else Tried to quit cold turkey, lasted 'bout a day Tried to quit cold turkey, lasted 'bout a day Then them headaches came and pulled me back this way (pulled me back) [Verse 3] Sitting in group therapy with my addict friends (mmm-hmm) Sitting in group therapy with my addict friends Talking 'bout our problems, but the craving never ends Chamomile at midnight, green tea at dawn Chamomile at midnight, green tea at dawn (all day long) This liquid habit's got me singing the blues song [Harmonica solo] [Verse 4] My hands start shaking when that kettle runs dry My hands start shaking when that kettle runs dry (shake, shake, shake) Can't face this cruel world without my caffeine high I'm steep in my ways, can't break these chains (Lord knows) I'm steep in my ways, can't break these chains Hot water and leaves running through my veins (through my veins) [Outro: 12 bars - slower] Maybe tomorrow I'll find another way Maybe tomorrow, Lord, I'll find another way (find a way) But tonight I'm brewing, and here I'm gonna stay (here I stay)
