Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music)
In the morning we wreck the bed
You bring me coffee black and boiling
Then we start up again and the coffee goes cold
I wake up drinking from your lips
Kisses warm and tender
And I`d give up the word just to see you smile
One thing I will never understand (It`s become my problem)
And it`s something that`s right out of my hands (My hands are clean)
What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean?
I went to town with a moody man, a handsome Dr. Jekyll
He was right by my side turning into Mr. Hyde
I ran for cover but I ran too slow; I was stitched by strangers
And they shook their heads that someone could do the things you did
One thing I will never understand (It`s become my problem)
And it`s something that`s right out of my hands (My hands are clean)
What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean?
I must be mad, I must be crazy, everyone tells me so
Everyday I see it coming, now I`m facing the wall, waiting for the blow
In the morning you kiss my head
You say it was another
Now you`re down on your knees
Begging me to forgive you please
I wake up aching from your touch
Every muscle tender
Then I look in your eyes, the way you smile
And I`m hypnotized
One thing I will never understand
(It`s become my problem)
And it`s something that`s right out of my hands
(My hands are clean)
What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean?
