My Cup is an original song featured in New York, the twenty-second and final episode of Season Two. It is sung by Artie and Brittany, with Puck playing the guitar. Brittany wrote the song.
When this song was performed, the New Directions members were noticeably disturbed by it. It can be seen as a possible tribute to Rachel's original song My Headband, as Brittany states that it was her favorite song in Original Song, the sixteenth episode of Season Two. The concepts between the songs are similar.
Brittany:
I got you in the palm of my hand
Wanna put something hot in you
So hot that you can't stand (Artie: That you can't stand)
Gonna take you to my lips
Empty out every last drop
So thirsty for what's in you baby
That I can't stop (Artie: That I can't stop)
In the middle of the night, I'm in bed alone
Don't care if you're glass, paper, styrofoam
When I need some water, baby
Brittany and Artie:
Coffee or gin
Brittany:
You're the
Brittany and Artie:
Only thing, I wanna put them in
My cup, my cup
Sayin', "What's up?"
To my cup, My cup
More of a friend than a silly pup
My cup
You know what it is
Sayin', "What's up?"
To my cup (Ahh)
Sayin', "What's up?"
To my cup (Ahh)
Sayin', "What's up?"
To my cup (Ahh)
Trivia
In the show, it is written as an attempt to create an original song for Nationals as New Directions have yet to write any songs for the competition before arriving in New York City. However, the song is quickly shot down because of its concept.
