Sweet Guy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the morning, we wreck the bed
You bring me coffee, black and boiling
Then we start up again and the coffee goes cold
I wake up drinking from your lips
Kisses warm and tender
And I'd give up the world just to see you smile

[Chorus]
One thing I will never understand
It's become my problem
And it's something that's right out of my hands
My hands are clean
What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean?

[Verse 2]
I went to town with a moody man, a handsome Dr. Jekyll
He was right by my side, turning into Mr. Hyde
I ran for cover but I ran too slow
I was stitched by strangers
And they shook their heads
That someone could do the things you did

[Chorus]
One thing I will never understand
It's become my problem
And it's something that's right out of my hands
My hands are clean
What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean?

[Bridge]
I must be mad, I must be crazy
Everyone tells me so
Every day I see it coming
Now I'm facing the wall, waiting for the blow

[Verse 3]
In the morning, you kiss my head, you say it was another
Now you're down on your knees
Begging me to forgive you, please
I wake up aching from your touch, every muscle tender
Then I look in your eyes, the way you smile
And I'm hypnotised

[Chorus]
One thing I will never understand
It's become my problem
And it's something that's right out of my hands
My hands are clean
What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean?
