It Only Takes a Taste

It Only Takes a Taste - Drew Gehling/Jessie Mueller

You know what's kind of funny

Just seeing you sitting here all by yourself in your uniform

You remind me of a girl I once knew

God by now she's well in middle age probably 41 42

Huh thank you

What oh my god no no no no

She was a waitress at a shop I used to frequent quite a lot

Nice teeth and small hands

And snuck me goodies I couldn't afford then

But she was sweet too

Reminds me of you

Hmm oh well no one ever really notices me that way so

Somebody did right

Hmm

Yah because you have th the baby

She'd bake the pies fresh every day

Like you I guess

But I must say

If pies were books yours would be shakespeare's letters

You remind me of her

But better

It only takes a taste when it's something special

It only takes a taste when you know it's good

Sometimes one bite is more than enough

To know you want more of the thing you just got a taste of

That reminds me of a thing we would say

Me and my mamma in the kitchen when we'd bake

She'd say Jenna you can tell the whole story with a taste

Yah

No that's exactly what I mean

I swear that as those flavors mixed and melted

I could hear the sirens sing

It was truly something special

One taste and I want the whole thing

I must say it felt like I was carried away intoxicated

Made me escape the room I was in

I can't help but wonder

How your hand must have felt

Quieting such masterful thing

Just one bite caused all that wondering

It only takes a taste

It only takes a taste when you know it's good

Sometimes one bite is more than enough

To know you want more of the thing you just got a taste of
