Maybe your jacket is a hand-me-down

Maybe you slept with half of your hometown

In a world of squares, maybe you're just round.

You can't be everybody's cup of tea

Some like it bitter, some like it sweet

Nobody's everybody's favorite

So you might as well just make it how you please

Aww, you can't be everybody's cup of tea.

Maybe you're working in a hotel bar

Maybe you're still driving your high school car

Maybe you still don't know just who you are.

You can't be everybody's cup of tea

Some like it bitter, some like it sweet

Nobody's everybody's favorite

So you might as well just make it how you please.

Maybe you married the wrong person first

Maybe your hair's way too long

Your sister's in jail or maybe you failed

Out of college, but hey, life goes on

We've all got the right to be wrong.

Aww, you can't be everybody's cup of tea

Some like it black, some like it green

Nobody's everybody's favorite

So you might as well just make it how you please.

Aww, you can't be everybody's cup of tea

Some like it bitter, some like it sweet

Nobody's everybody's favorite,

So you might as well just make it how you please

Aww, you can't be everybody's cup of tea.

Why would you want to be?
