[Verse 1] Although I like the taste of trouble I don't sip from every cup What we got is calm and safe Like oolong. you warm me up Your name sits sweet on my tongue Like jasmine after rain Why would I stain our table When we’re happy with it’s natural grain [Pre-Chorus] I don't need another saucer I don't need another pour Got both hands ‘round a cup of love Ain’t reaching for more One wrong move, one cracked teacup Our set would lose it’s shine I know what I got at home And I’m happy that it’s mine [Chorus] Not for all the tea in China Not for all that silk and gold Not for all the jade cups stacked up I would never let you go Not for all the tea in China No, I wouldn’t cross that line You are my perfect cuppa Hot, sweet, fragrant, divine (Not for all the tea in China) (Not for all the tea in China) (Not for all the tea-tea-tea-tea-tea in China) (Not for all the tea-tea-tea-tea-tea in China) [Verse 2] Darjeeling dreams and silver spoons Could never lead me astray Your love is the first steeped in truth With flavour improving each day I don't chase some bitter aftertaste When honey's in my bed Why trade a whole warm teahouse For a cup gone cold instead? [Pre-Chorus] I don't need another saucer I don't need another pour Got both hands ‘round a cup of love Ain’t reaching for more One wrong move, one cracked teacup Our set would lose it’s shine I know what I got at home And I’m happy that it’s mine [Chorus] Not for all the tea in China Not for all that silk and gold Not for all the jade cups stacked up I would never let you go Not for all the tea in China No, I wouldn’t cross that line You are my perfect cuppa Hot, sweet, fragrant, divine (Not for all the tea in China) (Not for all the tea in China) (Not for all the tea-tea-tea-tea-tea in China) (Not for all the tea-tea-tea-tea-tea in China) [Extended instrumental interlude] [Bridge] Even if the whole world offered A thousand fragrant leaves I'd still choose your steady hands To pour some love for me Some temptations come and fade like steam But you stay rich and true Don’t need a whole plantation When you are my perfect brew [Istrumental dance breakdown] [Chorus] Not for all the tea in China Not for all that silk and gold Not for all the jade cups stacked up I would never let you go Not for all the tea in China No, I wouldn’t cross that line You are my perfect cuppa Hot, sweet, fragrant, divine [Chorus] Not for all the tea in China Not for all that silk and gold Not for all the jade cups stacked up I would never let you go Not for all the tea in China No, I wouldn’t cross that line You are my perfect cuppa Hot, sweet, fragrant, divine (Not for all the tea in China) (Not for all the tea in China) (Not for all the tea-tea-tea-tea-tea in China) (Not for all the tea-tea-tea-tea-tea in China) (Not for all the tea-tea-tea-tea-tea in China) (Not for all the tea-tea-tea-tea-tea in China)
