Sweet Man Blues - Ethel Waters, J C Johnson, Ethel Waters, J.C. Johnson

TNT, gasoline

Even nitroglycerin

Ain’t got the kick of kisses I get now

From my honey!

Tried to call him a name

But they all seem much too tame

Why’s he’s so blamed cute-like

No name suits my

Sweet man!

My sweeter than sweet man

The steppin’est feet man

And that isn’t all!

Dancin'

I claim is just one of my charms

When I’m in his arms

I yell like, well, I’ve more to tell about

Sweet man!

That pleasure-to-meet man

My candy-receipt man

He taught me to smile!

One kiss from his red lips

Sends my conscience off a cliff!

My sweet man is drivin' me wild!

Now, sweet man!

My heaven complete man!

My couldn’t-be-beat man!

You haven’t half heard

He’s true as I could expect him to be

He sees only me!

It’s true, I know, because he told me so!

Sweet man!

So tidy and neat, man!

My hotter-than-heat man

With oceans of style

He works so doggone fast

I’m like a woman with a past

My sweet man is drivin' me wild
