Sweet About Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, watching me
Hanging by a string this time
Don't easily
The climax of a perfect lie
Ooh, watching me
Hanging by a string this time
Don't easily
A smile worth a hundred lies

[Pre-Chorus]
If there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, oh
Tell ya something that I've found
That the world's a better place
When it's upside down, boy
If there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, oh
When you're playing with desire
Don't come running to my place when it burns like fire, boy

[Chorus]
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet about me, yeah

[Verse 2]
Blue, blue, blue
Waves, they crash
As time goes by
So hard to catch
And too, too smooth
Ain't all that
Why don't you ride
My side of the tracks?

[Pre-Chorus]
If there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, oh
Tell ya something that I've found
That the world's a better place
When it's upside down, boy
If there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, oh
When you're playing with desire
Don't come running to my place when it burns like fire, boy

[Chorus]
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet about me, yeah

[Outro]
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet about me, yeah

About

“Sweet About Me” is the second single by Gabriella Cilmi from her debut album, Lessons to Be Learned (2008).

There are two versions of the song: the album version and the radio edit. The first verse is cut in half in the radio edit and the song opens up with the lyrics: “Oh, watching me hanging by a string this time” followed by “Oh, easily climax of a perfect lie”. In the album version, there is a repetition of the first line followed by the line: “Don’t, easily a smile worth a hundred lies”; the radio edit omits these two lines before going into the pre-chorus.
