Well, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are.
If I`d quit drinkin` sooner, I`m sure I wouldn`t have gone that far.
Now the haze has lifted I can see.
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be.
I started slow and steady,
I went from cola to a beer.
I made a resolution:
From the liquor I`d steer clear.
When I saw you there,
Somethin` inside of me switched off.
And when I switched to the whiskey,
Then I knew that I was gone.
`Cause the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are.
If I`d quit drinkin` sooner, I`m sure I wouldn`t have gone that far.
Now the haze has lifted I can see.
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be.
Instrumental Break.
"Sweets for a sweetheart."
That is what you said to me,
As you handed me a shot glass,
And drank down hungrily.
I was lost in dreams of sweet things,
Runnin` through my head.
If it wasn`t for the whiskey,
Well, I`d have run away instead.
`Cause the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are.
If I`d quit drinkin` sooner, I`m sure I wouldn`t have gone that far.
Now the haze has lifted I can see.
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be.
Oh yeas, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever be to me
