Sweet Man lyrics

TNT, gasoline,

Even nitroglycerin,

Ain't got the kick of kisses I get now,

From my honey!

Tried to call him a name,

But they all seem much too tame,

Why's he's so blamed cute-like,

No name suits my

Sweet man!

My sweeter than sweet man,

The steppin'est feet man,

And that isn't all!

Dancin'

I claim is just one of my charms,

When I'm in his arms,

I yell like, well, I've more to tell about

Sweet man!

That pleasure-to-meet man,

My candy-receipt man,

He taught me to smile!

One kiss from his red lips,

Sends my conscience off a cliff!

My sweet man is drivin' me wild!

Now, sweet man!

My heaven complete man!

My couldn't-be-beat man!

You haven't half heard,

He's true as I could expect him to be,

He sees only me!

It's true, I know, because he told me so!

Sweet man!

So tidy and neat, man!

My hotter-than-heat man,

With oceans of style,

He works so doggone fast,

I'm like a woman with a past,

My sweet man is drivin' me wild
