Well, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are.
|
If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far.
|
Now the haze has lifted I can see.
|
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be.
|
|
I started slow and steady,
|
I went from cola to a beer.
|
I made a resolution:
|
From the liquor I'd steer clear.
|
When I saw you there,
|
Somethin' inside of me switched off.
|
And when I switched to the whiskey,
|
Then I knew that I was gone.
|
|
'Cause the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are.
|
If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far.
|
Now the haze has lifted I can see.
|
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be.
|
|
Instrumental Break.
|
|
"Sweets for a sweetheart."
|
That is what you said to me,
|
As you handed me a shot glass,
|
And drank down hungrily.
|
I was lost in dreams of sweet things,
|
Runnin' through my head.
|
If it wasn't for the whiskey,
|
Well, I'd have run away instead.
|
|
'Cause the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are.
|
If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far.
|
Now the haze has lifted I can see.
|
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be.
|
|
Oh yeas, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever be to me
