Too Sweet - Hozier (lyrics) It can\u0027t be said I\u0027m an early bird It\u0027s ten o\u0027clock 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\u0027t gotta pretend, baby, now and then Don\u0027t you just wanna wake up, dark as a lake? Smelling like a bonfire, lost in a haze? If you\u0027re drunk on life, babe, I think it\u0027s great But while in this world I think I\u0027ll take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You\u0027re too sweet for me You\u0027re too sweet for me I take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You\u0027re too sweet for me You\u0027re too sweet for me Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh I aim low I aim true, and the ground\u0027s where I go I work late, where I\u0027m 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\u0027s Heaven\u0027s gate The rest of you like you\u0027re the TSA I wish I could go along, babe, don\u0027t get me wrong You know you\u0027re 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\u0027ll wait Until that day I\u0027d rather take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You\u0027re too sweet for me You\u0027re too sweet for me I take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You\u0027re too sweet for me You\u0027re too sweet for me Whoa, oh Whoa, oh Whoa, oh Whoa, oh Whoa, oh Whoa, oh Whoa, oh Whoa, oh I take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You\u0027re too sweet for me You\u0027re too sweet for me
