Cup of Tea
Kathy Mar Lyrics

And honey I feed you when you're hungry
I take care of you when you're in need

Love you when you're mean
I love you even when you're not being kind

Stand by every up and down
I support you through both good times and bad

And every old in-between
And even during the periods of uncertainty

And baby I've been there through all your changes
I have been present for all of your personal growth and transformation

And there's something you should face
And you need to accept something

Though I may not be your cup of tea
Even though I may not be your specific preference

I could never be replaced
I am irreplaceable in my role in your life

You've been a friend when it was easy
You have been supportive when it was effortless

And even sometimes when it was not
And even in times when providing support was difficult

And there are sometimes when the things you say
There are moments when your words hit just right

Just seem to hit the spot
And are precisely what I need to hear

But then there are some times when you disappear
However, there are also times when you go missing

You've really got the knack
You seem to have a talent for it

And still I know that when you need a friend
But I also understand that when you require assistance

You'll "disappear" right back
You will return to seek my support.

I know I can't expect your presence
I understand that I can't anticipate that you will always be available

And I can't demand your time
Nor can I insist that you prioritize me

And I can be sure that I will see you less
I can anticipate that I will have less frequent interactions with you

When everything's going fine
During times of stability and ease

But you know that I'm the one who'll hold you
However, know that I will be the one to provide comfort

Through all your pain and fear
During periods of difficulty and discomfort

Though I'm not your world not your kind of girl
Even though I may not be your ideal partner

I'm still the one who's here
I am still present, no matter what.

And babe when the world has left you broken
And my dear, when the world has left you shattered

And love has left you dry
When love has depleted you

You know I can help you get back on your feet
Remember that I am able to aid you in your recovery

And give it another try
And encourage you to try again

And someday when you run out of mountain
And, one day when you've exhausted all possibilities

If you should ever start to fall
If you begin to stumble

I may be the last one that you think on
I may not be your first thought

But make me the first one that you call
But please, make me the first person you contact.

And baby I'll be there through all your changes
I will be present for all the transformations in your life

Running' cold or burnin' hot
During times of joy and pain

I may not be your cup of tea
I may not be your preferred choice

But I'm the one you've got
But I'm the one who will support you no matter what.
