As the day breaks
On a bleary eyed Sunday mornin'
I awake so dusty and forlorn
I need espresso
(I need espresso)

And my heart aches
'Cause if there's one thing that I don't need
It is another hangover to feed
I need espresso
(I need espresso )

People, don't you understand
That I’m just a coffee fan
And I need to get my caffeine fix some way
So just between you and me
I’ll even drink the beans 43
So I simply turn my head
And get on with my day

Well, the world turns
And there’s one thing that everybody knows
Without caffeine the anxiety grows
I need espresso
(I need espresso)

And my hunger burns
So I start to roam the streets at night
And you know how I feel
I need a Starbucks light
I need espresso
(I need espresso )

Then one night in desperation
I have to break away
I try to run, I leave my spouse
But it’s not much fun drinking Maxwell House

And my brain just fries
As a crowd gathers 'round I’m angry and sad
Face down in my hands with the cup I’ve just had
I need espresso
(I need espresso)

And another day dies
(I need espresso )
And I’m still in need of a caffeine hit
Maybe Gloria Jeans will give me it
I need espresso
(I need espresso)

And my brain just fries
(I need espresso)
(I need espresso )
(Ah)
