SWEET MYSTERY			Ralph McTell

One of these days I'm gonna do it right,
Take her out to dinner by candlelight,
Rent a suit and give my shoes a shine
And talk about nothing over a glass or two of expensive-
One of these days  I'll do it right,
Get to her door and just say "Goodnight".
Even if she begs me to come in
I'll make myself say "No" so I can call again.

Ch:
Oh Babe, I really really like you,
There's nothing wrong with you, no, no,
Hey and Babe there's nothing wrong with me,
I only want to get you for my Sweet Mystery.
Sweet Mystery, Sweet Mystery,
Nothing wrong with you, nothing wrong with me.
Can't you see how beautiful it would be
If you would agree to be my Sweet Mystery.


One of these days I'm gonna get it right,
Send her some flowers, ask her out tomorrow night,
Find a little place where maybe we could dance
And build it up slowly for a big Romance.
One of these days I'm gonna do it right,
If I don't get completely smashed out of my brain in the candlelight -
Get to her door and scream "DO let me in!"
'cause if she says "Yes" it's the same old thing....

Ch. and end.
