A Sweet Sweet Man - Tindersticks

She sang for me, her heart on her tongue

She sang so pretty

She danced for me, her heart on her hips

She danced so fine

She said «oh, a sweet sweet man like you

What can I do for you?»

I said «a sweet sweet man like me

I can only bring you misery»

I lay awake that night, listening to her breathing

Thinking how strange it would be

If I awoke and she wasn’t there

I could feel myself, feel myself changing

No longer me, I was only a part of her

I said «a sweet sweet man like me

I can only bring you misery»

So they put me down, back where I started from

But where I started seems so high

I start to climb
