Intro: |
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 |
Bridge: |
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 |

x4 |
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 |
