From the recording Too Sweet: Songs for Setting Boundaries
Lyrics
Don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me
Don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me
Don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me now
I’ll be the thought that makes you shiver, run your fingers through your hair
I’ll be the one you want to hold but the one you wouldn’t dare
I’ll be a constant reminder of a touch you never felt
I’ll be the words that you whisper alone unto yourself
So, don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me
Don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me
Don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me now
I’ll be the sweat upon your brow, the blood upon your lip
I’ll be the string you’ve been winding around your fingertip
And when you’re helpless in the tide, tethered to the moon
I’ll make question your conclusions, curse all your rules
So, don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me
Don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me
Don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me now
I’ll be the shadow of a doubt that drifts across your mind
I’ll be the liquor that you drink to fill the emptiness inside
You’ll want to do everything you never thought you could
I’ll be the worst that can happen for your own damn good
So don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me
Don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me
Don’t you be too sweet, too sweet to me now
