Sweet Guy Waltz

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 world just to see you smile One thing I will never understand It's become my problem And something 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 evil things you did One thing I will never understand It's become my problem And something 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 somebody else, you weren't feeling yourself Now you're down on your knees Begging me, baby, baby, baby, forgive me please I wake up aching from your touch So sore, so 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 something right out of my hands My hands are clean What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean? Turn so mean, turn so mean, turn so mean --- Sweet Guy Waltz - Paul Kelly and Paul Kelly & the Messengers
