Sweet Guy Lyrics - Singles - Paul Kelly And The Messengers

Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music) 

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 word just to see you smile 

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? 

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 

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? 

I must be mad, I must be crazy, everyone tells me so 

Everyday I see it coming, now I'm facing the wall, waiting for the blow 

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 hypnotized 

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?
