It can`t be said I`m an early bird
It`s 10:00 before I say a word
Baby, I can never tell
How do you sleep so well?
You keep tellin` 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
Smellin` 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

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

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
