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
the 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
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I aim low,
I aim true and the
ground's 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
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
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
