Hozier - Too Sweet Lyrics

It can’t be said I’m an early bird

It’s ten o’clock before I say a word

Baby, I can never tell

How do you sleep so well

You keep telling me to live right

To go to bed before daylight

But then you wake up for the sunrise

You know you don’t gotta pretend

Baby, now and then

Don’t you just wanna wake up

Dark as a lake

Smelling like a bonfire

Lost in a haze

If you’re drunk on life, babe

I think it’s great

But while in this world

I think I’ll take my whiskey neat

My coffee black and my bed at three

You’re too sweet for me

You’re too sweet for me

I take my whiskey neat

My coffee black and my bed at three

You’re too sweet for me

You’re too sweet for me

I aim low

I aim true and the ground is where I go

I work late where I’m free from the phone

And the job gets done

But you worry some, I know

But who wants to live forever babe

You treat your mouth as if it’s heaven’s gate

The rest of you like you’re the TSA

I wish that I could go along

Babe, don’t get me wrong

You know you’re bright as the morning

As soft as the rain

Pretty as a vine

As sweet as a grape

If you can sit in a barrel

Maybe I’ll wait

Until that day 

I’d rather take my whiskey neat

My coffee black and my bed at three

You’re too sweet for me

You’re too sweet for me

I take my whiskey neat

My coffee black and my bed at three

You’re too sweet for me

You’re too sweet for me

I take my whiskey neat

My coffee black and my bed at three

You’re too sweet for me

You’re too sweet for me
