Sweetness

Sweetness
Sweetness
Sweetness
Sweetness

She's got a master's in ambition
With a minor in regret
She never asks for permission
When she's settling her debt
Always chasing every last word
Any hurt she's justified
Caging up her little white dove
'Cause it's safer than watching her fly

And I don't even have the fight
It's not in me tonight

I just need sweetness, a little compassion
I ain't looking to cash in, I ain't looking to win
Why can't we try harder? Maybe kick down the starter
I don't need a martyr, I just need a friend
I just wanna be friends

And every girl has their demons
Hiding 'hind a glass of wine
Just looking for a little attention
Lighting a candle up on her shrine
Now I don't really need to argue
'Bout something that I understand
I'm coming to you with my heart out
'Cause, baby, I just wanna be your man

And I don't even have the fight
It's not in me tonight

I just need sweetness, a little compassion
I ain't looking to cash in, I ain't looking to win
So can we try harder? Maybe kick down the starter
I don't need a martyr, I just need a friend
Can't we just be friends?
