Smell the Coffee Songtext
von Spek

If you could walk a path that′s all your own (All your own)
You'd wanna live inside a floating home (A floating home)
If that′s a way that you can call your own (Call your own)
You'd like to swim inside a big bad world (World)

I wrote a little ditty
For my friends in the center of the city

I felt giddy when I met this girl
She really had her own world
I was in grade five
I was in love
She was in home economics

Used to call her bionic
Four years later
Job well done
Tables done turned
Live and learn
The girl I loved had a tear on the phone
But all I thought about was microphones
(Microphone on my mind)


Soon after that
Bags got packed
She got hitched
Then she moved down to Italy (Italy?)

And now she don't remember me

If you could walk a path that′s all your own
(Why would, why would, why would, why would you not do so?)
You′d wanna live inside a floating home
(And cry and cry and cry your way to safety)
If you could walk a path that's all your own (All your own)
You′d wanna live inside a floating home
If that's a way that you can call your own (Call your own)
You′d like to swim inside a big bad world

You need to wake up and just smell the coffee
Next time going

Got to a club
Got paid for flowing
I went knowing
She would be there
Fixed my hair
Rhymed to a beat with a kick and a snare
Then I thought that she might not show
Four eyes met and I said hello


Bought her drinks
Sold her a line
Looked at her watch as she checked the time
I said I'm old school
You′re more new
My boyfriend Imran has got a big shoe
And he just might kick you with it

So just forget it

If you could walk a path that's all your own (All your own)
You'd wanna live inside a floating home (A floating home)
If that′s a way that you can call your own (Call your own)
You′d like to swim inside a big bad world
If you could walk a path that's all your own (All your own)
You′d wanna live inside a floating home
If that's a way that you can call your own
You need to wake up and just smell the coffee

If you could walk a path that′s all your own (All your own)
You'd wanna live inside a floating home (A floating home)
If that′s a way that you can call your own (Call your own)
You'd like to swim inside a big bad world
Smell the coffee
You need to
You need to wake up
You need to
You need to
Smell the coffee
