lyrics

Mystery & Sweetness
(Words & music ©2014 by Dave Caruso)

This is how it starts – All tangled up in reason
It shouldn't be so hard to find someone to believe in
Don’t get smart // Use your heart

Turning, spinning – back to the beginning
Don’t disturb the mood; (someone to believe in) It’s all attitude
No more weakness, just mystery and sweetness
The less you think it through, the more it comes to you

This is how it goes – you’re tripping on the meaning
It’s right under your nose; can’t you figure out your feelings?
Haven't you got a clue?

Turning, spinning – back to the beginning
Don’t upset the mood; (figure out your feelings) show some attitude
No more weakness, just mystery and sweetness
No need to think it through, it’ll come to you

Well, lately meaning's meaning less
Your house is in order, your heart's a mess
If you can't be sure, well, then take a guess
You can always settle later for Mr. Second-best

This is how it is – You’re nervous and unsteady
How can you resist? / It’s easy if you’re ready
Don't say no / Just let go

Returning, spinning – back to the beginning (show me, show me, show me)
Don’t disturb the mood; (it doesn’t take a genius) It’s all attitude (tell me, tell me, tell me)
No more weakness, just mystery and sweetness (show me, show me, show me)
The less you think it through, the more it comes to you (tell me, tell me, tell me)

And tell me, tell me, tell me it doesn’t take a genius
Show me, show me, show me some mystery and sweetness

Mystery and Sweetness. This is how it ends.
