[Verse 1]

   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 the daylight

But then you wake up for the sunrise

You know you don't gotta pretend

Baby, now and then
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]

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
 
[Chorus]

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 meeee
 
[Break]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
 
[Verse 2]

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 I could go along, babe, don't get me wrong
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]

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
 
[Chorus]

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 meeee
 
[Bridge]

Whoa-oh, ooh-oh-oh, 

Whoa-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
 

Whoa-oh, ooh-oh-oh, 

Whoa-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
 
[Chorus]

I take my whiskey neat

My coffee black and my bed at three

You're too sweet for me

You're too sweet for meeee
