coffee
Conya Doss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn´t know you at all
You took me to the highest
of the highest of the
highest to let me fall
You are like the sun shine turned to rain
A double shot of ecstasy with the chase of pain
I know that you lied
I Just can´t quit, daddy, you when you hit, when you
call me you are not
And even when you say that you can´t stay, oh baby,
that´s ok
I know you´ve gotta move on before you put your shoes
on at the moment get this groove on
You like first cup of coffee in the morning - keep
cold and strong
I know what´s wrong when you hip on, hip on
You like first cup of coffee in the morning - string
me alone
I know what´s wrong when you hip on, hip on
Maybe one day I´ll be strong enough
Maybe one day I´ll wise enough
Stop telling when your game is done
But not right now
I suppose I´m just stuck with your love
Catch me on the rug I can stuck with your love
I´m Just another tick, tick time and tell
But I see, Just what I wanna see
You like first cup of coffee in the morning - keep
cold and strong
I know what´s wrong when you hip on, hip on
You like first cup of coffee in the morning - string
me alone
I know what´s wrong when you hip on, hip on
I don´t know what I´ve got
I don´t know why I´m in my crazy mind
Can´t you see that my need for you is like my need to
breathe
What more can I do?
One more of your cup of love
Ah Ah AH AH AH AH AH...
You´ve gotta say: oh, ah
You like first cup of coffee in the morning -
keep
cold and strong
I know what´s wrong when you hip on, hip on
You like first cup of coffee in the morning - string me alone
I know what´s wrong when you hip on, hip on
The theme of this song is about a difficult relationship that the singer can't seem to fully let go of. From the opening lines, "I thought I knew well / I didn't know you at all / You took me to the highest / of the highest of the / highest to let me fall," we get a sense that this is a love that has caused pain and confusion. The person is like "sunshine turned to rain" and is a "double shot of ecstasy with the chase of pain," conveying a sense of being addicted to the highs and lows of the relationship.
The chorus compares this person to the first cup of coffee in the morning – something that is both addictive and necessary – and suggests that the singer is aware of the problematic aspects of the relationship ("I know what's wrong when you hip on, hip on") but can't seem to break free. There's a sense of resignation and even acceptance in lines like "Maybe one day I'll be strong enough / Maybe one day I'll wise enough / Stop telling when your game is done / But not right now."
Overall, this song is a powerful exploration of the complexities and contradictions of love, especially when it becomes addictive and unhealthy. The coffee metaphor is a clever one, effectively conveying both the pleasure and the pain of this kind of relationship.

the thing that kills me with you, especially in this video, is how you open your mouth and "it" comes out with ease. it isnt forced or anything. its almost like you are just playing around, not really trying at all, and i love it. perfect example; 3:12 to 3:27 yall sleeping on this boy; and in the voice of Durand im telling you to "turn to your neighbor and say, WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!"
