Lyrics
A Sweet Sweet Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She sang for me, her heart on her tongue
She sang so pretty
She danced for me, her heart on her hips
She danced so fine
She said, "Oh, a sweet sweet man like you
What can I do for you?"
I said, "A sweet sweet man like me
I can only bring you misery"
I lay awake that night, listening to her breathing
Thinking how strange it would be
If I awoke and she wasn't there
I could feel myself, feel myself changing
No longer me, I was only a part of her
I said, "A sweet sweet man like me
I can only bring you misery"
So they put me down, back where I started from
But where I started seems so high
I start to climb
I lay awake that night, listening to her breathing
Thinking how strange it would be
If I awoke and she wasn't there
I could feel myself, feel myself changing
No longer me, I was only a part of her
She said, "Oh a sweet-sweet man like you
what can I do for you?"
I said, "A sweet sweet man like me
I can only bring you misery"
