Lyrics

(Verse 1)  
You were working as a baker in a sweet shop in town
When I met you,
Saw the pastry, took my chance, I didn’t want to let down  
When you gave me a glance  

(Chorus)  
Don't you want my donut?  
It's sugary and sweet
Don't you want my donut?  
It's all ready to eat

(Verse 2)  
I was working as a barista, with apron and hat  
That much is true  
But even then I knew I'd find a much sweeter chap
A better donut than you

(Chorus)  
Don't you want my donut?  
It's filled with jam inside  
Don't you want my donut?  
It's too good to hide  

(Bridge)  
And I thought it was a bit amusing  
To see all the choices you were choosing  
And I thought it was a good time  
For a sweet verse and a simple rhyme  

(Chorus)  
Don't you want my donut?  
Sprinkles on the top  
Don't you want my donut?  
Please say you won't stop  

(Tag)  
Now, five years later on, you’ve got the sweets around you  
Some to eat, some to share, in the morning light  
But donuts bring us back, no matter where we go to  
To the sweet shop in town on that night  

(Outro)  
Don't you want my donut?  
Don't you want it, oh no!
Don't you want my donut?  
Don't you want it, oh no!


(Chorus)  
Don't you want my donut?  
It's sugary and sweet
Don't you want my donut?  
It's all ready to eat

(Verse 2)  
I was working as a barista, with apron and hat  
That much is true  
But even then I knew I'd find a much sweeter chap
A better donut than you

(Chorus)  
Don't you want my donut?  
It's filled with jam inside  
Don't you want my donut?  
It's too good to hide  

(Bridge)  
And I thought it was a bit amusing  
To see all the choices you were choosing  
And I thought it was a good time  
For a sweet verse and a simple rhyme  

(Chorus)  
Don't you want my donut?  
Sprinkles on the top  
Don't you want my donut?  
Please say you won't stop

I was working as a barista, with apron and hat

To see all the choices you were perusing
And I thought it was high time  
For you to select your sugary fine
(Chorus)  
Don't you want my donut?  
Sprinkles on the top  
Don't you want my donut?  
Please say you won't stop

Now, five years later on, we’ve got the sweets around us,
Some to eat, some save, some to share, 
But donuts bring us back, no matter where we go to,
Donut shop, in town, on that night
