“It can’t be said I’m an infidel

You know my kind of lover way too well

But baby I’m one of a kind

I’m here to change your mind

You keep telling me to live wild

As if you’re Eve and Adam’s love child

Born out of something pure that’s been defiled

You know you don’t gotta pretend

Baby, now and then

Don’t you just wanna wake up

Light as a leaf

Smellin’ like a lilac, feeling complete

Babe if you’re undefined, then I think it’s neat

But while I’m in this world

I’ll take my liquor sweet

A maraschino in my aperitif

You’re too strong for me

You’re too strong for me…”

This is Katie Lynne Sharbaugh’s answer to Hozier’s “Too Sweet,” sung to the same melody as his original song. I’m gonna need a recording of this duet and I’m gonna need it right away, thank you.

His original lyrics are as follows:

“It can’t be said I’m an early bird
It’s 10:00 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 don’t gotta pretend
Baby, now and then
Don’t you just wanna wake up
Dark as a lake
Smelling like a bonfire
Lost in a haze?
If you’re drunk on life, babe
I think it’s great
But while in this world

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 take my whiskеy neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for mе
You’re too sweet for me

I aim low
I aim true, and the ground’s where I go
I work late where I’m free from the phone
And the job gets done
But you worry some, I know
But who wants to live forever, babe?
You treat your mouth as if it’s Heaven’s gate
The rest of you like you’re the TSA
I wish that I could go along
Babe, don’t get me wrong

You know you’re bright as the morning
As soft as the rain
Pretty as a vine
As sweet as a grape
If you can sit in a barrel
Maybe I’ll wait
Until that day
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 take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me…”
