Intro:
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 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
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
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
Bridge:
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 that 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
Bridge:
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

The story behind the song

"Too Sweet" emerged from the same creative period as Hozier's album Unreal Unearth, though it didn't make the final cut for that release. It still carries the album's thematic weight, exploring ideas of gluttony, limbo, violence, and an outward ascent. The song invites you into a world where certain pleasures might be just a little too rich, a little too much. Playing it can feel like stepping into a smoky room, observing a decadent scene with a wry smile.
