lyrics

Sweet Tooth
©Cliff Westfall 2018

VERSE 1
Well I used to love sweets I couldn’t leave ‘em alone
Then I’d take a piece of meat and gnaw to the bone
Well now I go from soup to nuts and back again
I never even notice where the hell I’ve been

CHORUS 1
Bananas Foster or a crème brulee
A fitting ending to a holiday
At least that’s what I heard people say
I wouldn’t know if it’s true
I’d never try to put myself above
What another fellow’s dreaming of
I only know that you’re my only love
I got a sweet tooth for you

VERSE 2
Well, now there’s caffeine, nicotine, smoking methamphetamines
Gambling, huffing paint, reading dirty magazines
Heroin and cocaine, not to mention harder things
But only one addiction gonna satisfy me

CHORUS 2
Some people drive themselves right up a wall
They get to craving that alcohol
They couldn’t tell you why they want it at all
They only know that they do
I understand ‘cause I got just one track
Runs straight at you unless you push me back
I’ll either have you or a panic attack
‘Cause I got a sweet tooth for you

CHORUS 3
Yeah, some people drive themselves right up a wall
They get to craving that alcohol
They couldn’t tell you why they want it at all
They only know that they do
I’d never try to put myself above
What another fellow’s dreaming of
I only know that you’re my only love
I got a sweet tooth for you, I got a sweet tooth for you, I got a sweet tooth for you…

about

Cliff Westfall image

Cliff Westfall New York, New York

New York-based, Kentucky-bred country songwriter Cliff Westfall writes songs about heartache, loss, addiction – you know, funny songs. Or he can dive into a sentimental weeper.

He delivers them all with the wit that, for Westfall, is central to country music. His songs are bitingly acerbic, dependent on the twisty puns, bittersweet humor, and turns of phrase that used to define country music. ... more
