about

A sweet little warning song. Flirtation can be more trouble than you bargained for. Never underestimate the damage someone’s unresolved pain can do to you no matter how sweet they seem.

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

Laura Marie San Antonio, Texas

Now the reason we're here
Every man, every woman
Is to help each other
Stand by each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good good
Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you - The Pretenders

At some point in my life, I heard this song and decided (before I knew I decided) that my life purpose was to send a "message of love". Be <3 ... more
