Lyrics:
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 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

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I aim low
I aim true and the ground is 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

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

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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

Wow your voice is like butter. It's so soothing. I hope I remember to come back and listen to this next time I have a bad day.

Best cover out there for sure! Loved it 😊

[gbimnation]

Listening to this on repeat, your vocals reveal a whole new layer of beauty in songs. You make me appreciate music in ways I never thought I could.💐

[PoetBright]

Listening when I close my eyes. I am brought to a painting made of charcoal, feeling hazy, but in a sense of bliss. Your song made my smile, and really stay present today. Thanks for your take on this song.

I do believe your cover is being used as "over music" on a Facebook video for New York apartment rentals! Which is okay by me, that's how I found you!

[wingss]

It's really happy to find your cover. This is "you're too sweet for me" in real :)
Thank you for your cover :)

it sounds too high and soft for my ear, but it is a lovely version
