Original Broadway Cast of Waitress - It Only Takes a Taste Lyrics

You know what's kinda funny?
Just seeing you
Sitting here
All by yourself in your uniform

You remind me of a girl I once knew
Gah, by now she's well in middle age
Probably forty-one, forty-two

Huh, thank you?

What? Oh my god no, no, no, no

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

Hmm, oh, well
Nobody ever really notices me that way, so

Somebody did, right?

Hmm?

No because you have the
The baby, you'd

She'd make 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 ya 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

That reminds me of a thing we would say
Me and my momma in the kitchen when we'd bake
She'd say Jenna
You can tell the whole story with a taste

Yeah, no that's exactly what I mean
I swear that has those flavors mixed
And melted I can 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

Just one bite
Caused all that wondering

It only takes a taste

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
