Sweet Man Songtext
von Ethel Waters

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!
