Breakfast Can Wait (Espresso) Songtext
von Prince

Hey baby, where you goin′
Please don't rush off so soon
If you leave me like this
What am I gonna do?

Finally my eyes are open
Been dreamin′ 'bout you all night long
The only thing that I've been hopin′ for is
′fore you go to work, babe, we get it on
I ain't tryin′ to make you blush but
I just wanted to tell ya, I think you're great
I know you′re late but I need another taste
Breakfast can wait


Grits and gravy (grits and gravy)
Cheese eggs and jam
Can't nobody cook it like you, girl
No ma′am
This here early mornin'
I need somethin' else on my plate
I think I want another bite of you, babe
(Breakfast can wait) Breakfast can wait

You really put it on me
You shut it down last night
I thought the police were gon′ come
(Was it loud?) Loud, yeah, quite
I ain′t tryin' to make you blush
I just think you′re great
Ain't no need to rush
Breakfast can wait

Finally my eyes are open
Been dreamin′ 'bout you all night long
The only thing that I′ve been hopin' for is
'fore you go to work, babe, we get it on
I ain′t tryin′ to make you blush but
I just wanted to tell ya, I think you're great
I know you′re late but I need another taste
Breakfast can wait


Uh, hot cakes smothered in honey (wait a minute)
Huh, I'm gon′ have to pass
Fresh cup of coffee? No, no
I'd rather have you in my glass (you in my glass)
Only thing that′s gonna sweeten my tongue
Only thing's gonna last now
Is just another bite of you, babe
(Breakfast can wait) You won't even have to ask

Finally my eyes are open (Oh yeah)
Been dreamin′ ′bout you all night long (night long)
The only thing that I've been hopin′ for is (Woo)
'fore you go to work, babe, we get it on
Now I ain′t tryin' to make you blush but
I just wanted to tell ya, (tell you) I think you′re great
I know you're late but I need another taste
Breakfast can wait

(Breakfast can wait)
Can't stop even if the police come
(Breakfast can wait)
I got a double-time kick drum
(Breakfast, breakfast)
You can′t leave a black man in this state
(Breakfast can wait) No no
(Breakfast, breakfast can wait)

Come here baby, let me put you on my plate
Hey yeah (Breakfast can wait)
You better call your job, yeah
(Breakfast can wait) Tell ′em you gon' be late
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Breakfast can wait)
Guess who′s in charge, now

That's right (Breakfast can wait)
(Breakfast can wait, breakfast can wait)
You the only thing I need (breakfast can wait)
To sweeten my tongue
Come here, baby (breakfast can wait)
Let me show you where I′m comin' from

Yea, hey yeah (breakfast can wait)
Oh, you know you might need to pray for me
You might need to congregate
(Breakfast, breakfast can wait)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
