Sweet Tea

(Verse 1)
She walks in the room, all sugar on her smile
Every word she whispers, got that Sunday—morning style
But behind closed doors, Lord, she cuts just like a knife
That woman's got two faces — I should know, I called her wife

(Verse 2)
She'll hug her brother, then steal from his hand
Cry on her mama's shoulder, then rob her where she stands
Didn't show up at the grave, not a tear, not a sound
Left her mother lonely, six feet underground

(Chorus)
Oh, she's sweet tea in the daylight
But poison in the night
Looks like an angel
But she just don't treat you right
Yeah, the devil wears a halo —
I done lived with that lie

(Verse 3)
Neighbors all adore her, call her "darling, kind, and true,"
But I've seen the claws come out, I've felt what they can do
Her love is just a story that she tells to keep her crown
And once you see behind it, brother, it'll tear you down

(Outro)
So don't trust her laughter, don't buy her song
That kind of lovin' will rot you before long
I was her fool, but I finally got free —
Now her blues ain't mine, they belong to she

(Chorus)
Oh, she's sweet tea in the daylight
But poison in the night
Looks like an angel
But she just don't treat you right
Yeah, the devil wears a halo —
I done lived with that lie
