Hozier - Whiskey Neat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 the daylight
But then you wake up for the sunrise
You know you got to pretend, baby, now and then

Don't you just wanna wake up, as dark as a lake?
Smelling like a bonfire, lost in the haze?
If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great
But while in this world

[Chorus]
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'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
[Post Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
I aim low
I aim true and the ground's where I go
I work late where I'm free from the phone
And my job gets done
But you worry some, I know

But who wants to live forever, baby?
You treat your mouth like it's Heaven's gate
The rest of you's like the TSA
I wish I could go along, baby, don't get me wrong

I-, you know you're bright as the morning, as soft as the rain
Pretty as the vine, as sweet as the grape
If you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait
Until this day

[Chorus]
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'll take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You're too sweet for me

[Post Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
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
