Woke up this morning, didn’t have a sense of smell
It was the same as yesterday, I’ve never had a sense of smell at all
Olfaction omitted, nostrils so weak and numb
Just an insufficient sense, but that’s all I get, you know
I could wander the deserts of food
I can’t taste a whole lot without you
I don’t have a sense of smell
Never had one in my life
But that don’t change, the man I am
Or my love in the night
I don’t have a sense of smell
And I don’t know what it’s like
When the darkness comes
I’m not gonna smell the light
Flavor is simple, bitter, sweet, salty, sour, umami
If the dish is more complex, I’m never gonna notice the subtleties
I’m sensitive about texture, certain things really bother me
But I swear it ain’t my fault, I was assembled improperly/with a missing piece
I could wander the deserts of food
I can’t taste a whole lot without you
Five senses, minus one leaves me with four
I can clean up gross things, smells so abhorred
I don’t have a sense of smell, I’m sure by now you can tell
Sometimes I think I pick up a smell, but they’re just phantom scents
Statistically men with no sense of smell have fewer sexual partners, bad news
I don’t know if I smell bad, so baby, you gotta tell me the truth (I can handle it, usually)
I don’t have a sense of smell
Never had one in my life
But that don’t change, the man I am
Or my love in the night
I don’t have a sense of smell
And I don’t know what it’s like
When the darkness comes
I’m never gonna smell the light
I don’t have a sense of smell, oooh yeah
I don’t have a sense of smell, oooh yeah
I don’t have a sense of smell, oooh yeah
I don’t have that sense, I don’t have that sense
