In the morning, we trash 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 world
Just to see you smile
One thing I'll 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 somebody could do the things you did
One thing I'll 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
All of my life, I've seen it coming
Now I'm facing the wall, I'm waiting for the blow
In the morning, you kiss my head
You say it was somebody else, you weren't feeling yourself
Now you're down on your knees
Begging me, "Baby, baby, baby, forgive me please"
I wake up aching from your touch
I wake up tender
Then I look in your eyes, the way you smile
I'm a fool, I'm hypnotized
One thing I'll 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?
Mm-mm
Turn so mean
I wanna know
Mm-mm
Might be your daddy
Must be your daddy
