Sweetness Sweetness Sweetness Sweetness She's got a master's in ambition With a minor in regret She never asks for permission When she's settling her debt Always chasing every last word Any hurt she's justified Caging up her little white dove 'Cause it's safer than watching her fly And I don't even have the fight It's not in me tonight I just need sweetness, a little compassion I ain't looking to cash in, I ain't looking to win Why can't we try harder? Maybe kick down the starter I don't need a martyr, I just need a friend I just wanna be friends And every girl has their demons Hiding 'hind a glass of wine Just looking for a little attention Lighting a candle up on her shrine Now I don't really need to argue 'Bout something that I understand I'm coming to you with my heart out 'Cause, baby, I just wanna be your man And I don't even have the fight It's not in me tonight I just need sweetness, a little compassion I ain't looking to cash in, I ain't looking to win So can we try harder? Maybe kick down the starter I don't need a martyr, I just need a friend Can't we just be friends?
