Sweet Guy

In the morning we trash 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 world just to see you smile

One thing I'll 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 somebody could do the things he did

One thing I'll 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

All of my life I've seen it coming

Now I'm facing the wall, I'm waiting for the blow

In the morning you kiss my head

You say it was somebody else, you weren't feeling yourself

Now you're down on your knees

Begging me baby, baby, forgive me 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'll 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, I said turn so mean?

Say I wanna know

Why you're turning so mean?

Say I wanna know

Why you're turning, turn

I said mean, I said mean

I said mean, mean

Oh
