Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In the morning we wreck 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

[Chorus]

One thing I will 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?

[Verse 2]

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 someone could do the things you did

[Chorus]

One thing I will 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?

[Verse 3]

I must be mad, I must be crazy

Everyone tells me so

Everyday I see it coming

Now I'm facing the wall

Waiting for the blow

In the morning you kiss my head

You say it was another

Now you're down on your knees

Begging me to forgive you please

I wake up aching from your touch

Every muscle tender

Then I look in your eyes

The way you smile

And I'm hypnotised

[Chorus]

One thing I will 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?
