It Only Takes A Taste

[Dr. Pomatter]

You remind me of a girl I once knew

God, by now she's well in middle age

She’s probably 41… or 42…

[Jenna]

Thank you?

[Dr. Pomatter]

Oh God! No, no! What I meant was that

She was a waitress at a shop I used to frequent quite a lot

Nice teeth and small hands

And snuck me goodies I couldn't afford then

She was sweet to me

Reminds me of you

[Jenna]

Nobody ever really notices me that way

[Dr. Pomatter]

She'd bake the pies fresh every day

Like you, I guess, but I must say

If pies were books, yours would be Shakespeare's letters

You remind me of her, but better

It only takes a taste when it's something special

It only takes a taste when you know it's good

Sometimes one bite is more than enough

To know you want more of the thing you just got a taste of

[Jenna]

That reminds me of a thing we would say

Me and my mamma in the kitchen when we'd bake

She'd say "Jenna, you can tell the whole story with a taste"

[Dr. Pomatter]

Yeah!

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean

I swear that as those flavors mixed and melted

I could hear the sirens sing

It was truly something special

One taste and I want the whole thing

I must say it felt like I was carried away intoxicated

Made me escape the room I was in

I can't help

But wonder how your hands must have felt

Creating such a masterful thing

[Jenna]

Just one bite caused all that wondering

[Dr. Pomatter]

It only takes a taste

[Both]

It only takes a taste when you know it's good

Sometimes one bite is more than enough

To know you want more of the thing you just got a taste of
