I made a resolution, from the liquor I'd steer clear.

Verse 2
Sweets for a sweet heart, that is what you said to me,
As you handed me a shot glass and I drank down

If it wasn't for the whiskey,
I'd have run away instead.
Cos....(chorus)
Oh yest the whiskey makes you sweeter,
Than you could ever be to me.
