lyrics

She lets me in her room
When her boyfriend's not at home
Whenever I'm drifting too far
She reminds me I'm not alone
She's got a sense of style
She's got a smile to please
Whenever the morning comes
her eyes are begging me not to leave

Sweet Calypso

She lets me in her bed
when I'm all weighed down with drink
Whenever I question myself,
she's there to help me think
That body could break me down
I've seen it done before
silent beside me she's
dreaming of something more

But there's no more for sweet Calypso

I knew you way back in the day
some things I know will never change
but every time you take your clothes off for me
I get to thinking I should stay

She plays hard to get
'til her door is locked and shut
it hasn't happened yet,
but it's getting close enough
and as she gets undressed
leaving those lights on
I'm laying back in bed
just dreaming up this song

for sweet Calypso
