Taste
Mikaela Astel Lyrics

Midnight
It's late at night.

See him for the first time
I notice him for the first time.

Stage fright
He is nervous on stage.

Blushing under dim lights
His face turns red in the soft lighting.

Mmmm
An expression of delight or intrigue.

Oooo
An expression of surprise or curiosity.

Can't stop
He can't help himself.

Telling me how much your chains cost
He brags about the expensive jewelry he wears.

Along with everything down to your shoes
He lists all of his expensive belongings.

But I do I like the way you look
I find his appearance attractive.

Like I ripped you out of a book
He looks like a character from a book that I pulled out.

Seeing themes pass but what's the hook?
Though I notice different aspects, what makes him interesting?

Something 'bout you can't be understood
There's something about him that is hard to comprehend.

Won't overcomplicate it (complicate it)
I won't make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Let's skip through all the pages (all the pages)
Let's not dwell on the details.

Baby baby baby
My affectionate term for him.

I just want a taste
I only want a small experience of him.

Not too much to make me wanna stay
I don't want to be too attached and compelled to stay.

Make it easier for me to walk away
I want it to be effortless for me to leave.

Thank you, but
I appreciate your efforts, but...

All I wanted was a
My desire was simply for...

Let me get this straight
Allow me to clarify.

Although I like the way your lips are shaped
While I find your lips attractive in appearance.

You're talking when there's nothing left to say
You continue to speak even when there is no substance.

Flirting with my friends even though I know you're into me (into me)
He engages in flirtation with my friends despite his interest in me.

Notice you take yourself too seriously (seriously)
I observe that he has a serious demeanor about himself.

Tryna save your pride
He is attempting to protect his ego.

So you're keeping me on the side (the side)
He is keeping me as a secondary option.

Flashy with your company
He presents himself as impressive and showy with others.

Telling jokes so bad that it's funny
His jokes are so terrible that they become amusing.

Two drinks and a dinner
He thinks buying me drinks and dinner is sufficient.

Don't make you a winner
That does not make him a successful or desirable person.

You need money cuz your talk is cheap
He relies on his material possessions because he doesn't have much else to offer.

(Like the way you look) Taste
I am attracted to his appearance.

(All I wanted was) All I wanted was a taste
My sole intention was to have a small experience.

Not enough to make me stay, all I wanted was taste
It wasn't sufficient to make me want to remain, I only desired a brief encounter.

All I wanted was a taste
My only desire was to sample his presence.

All I wanted was a taste
My only desire was to sample his presence.

All I wanted was a taste
My only desire was to sample his presence.
