Lyrics
It wasn't long ago that I met you girl
But I knew you were right for me
It didn't take long for me to find out
That you're my cup of tea
Well I searched high and low and was burnt before
I know how careful I gotta be
But I found in you what I'm looking for
That you're my cup of tea
I've found in you an old fashioned love
Just like it always used to be
I hope you don't mind when I say these words
But that's just how it's got to be
Cup of tea, and right for me
Cup of tea, so right for me
It wasn't long ago that I met you girl
But I knew you were right for me
It didn't take long for me to find out
That you're my cup of tea
My cup of tea, right for me
You are my cup of tea, so right for me
Can you see in me what you need to see
Can you find what I can't hide
Is it understood from the very start
That love is based on pride
Oh, with this in mind our love can grow
At least, that's the way I feel
I don't care what the others say
My love for you is real
Cup of tea, right for me
Cup of tea, so right for me
Cup of tea, right for me
Cup of tea, so right for me
