Lyrics:

Oh, the whisky makes you sweeter than you are
If I'd quit drinking sooner, sure I wouldn't have gone that far
Now the haze has lifted I can see
That the whisky makes you sweeter than you could ever really be.

I started slow and steady; I went from cola to a beer
And I made a resolution - from the liquor I'd steer clear
When I saw you there - something inside of me switched off
And when I switched to the whisky - then I knew that I was lost

Well, the whisky makes you sweeter than you are...

Sweets for a sweetheart - that is what you said to me
As you handed me a shot glass and I drank it hungrily
I had dreams of sweet things running through my head
If it wasn't for the whisky - I'd have run away instead.
Well, the whisky makes you sweeter than you are...
