Ralph McTell - Sweet Mystery Lyrics

Ralph McTell Lyrics

"Sweet Mystery"

One of these days I'm gonna do it right
Take her out to dine by candle light
All round suit, and give my shoes a shine
And talk about nothing, over a glass or two of expensive wine
One of these days I'll do it right
Get to her door and just say goodnight
Even if she asks me to come in
I'll make myself say no so I can call again

Oh babe, I really, really like you
There's nothing wrong with you
Oh babe, there's nothing that is wrong with me
I just want to have you for my sweet mystery
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Nothing wrong with you, nothing wrong with me
Can't you see how groovy, well, it could be
If you'd agree to be my sweet mystery

One of these days I'm gonna do it right
I'm gonna send her some flowers, ask her out tonight
Find a little place where maybe we could dance
And build it up slow for the big romance
One of these days I'm gonna get it right
If I don't get stoned in the candle light
Get to her door and scream out, "now you let me in"
God, if she says yes, it'd be the same old thing

Oh babe, I really, really like you
There's nothing wrong with you
Oh babe, there's nothing that is wrong with me
I just want to have you for my sweet mystery
Sweet mystery, sweet mystery
Nothing wrong with you, nothing wrong with me
Can't you see how groovy, well, it could be
If you'd agree to be my sweet mystery
