Ethel Waters Sweet Man Lyrics

Sweet Man Lyrics

TNT, gasoline, 

Even nitroglycerine, 

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
