[Verse 1]
Met you on a Monday
Storm clouds, worn-out boots
Thought I knew what lonely was
Till I tasted truth
You hit me in the chest
First bite, I understood
This kind of deep devotion
Can’t be good
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re messy and you’re reckless
Still I bring you home
Every time I swear I’m done
I end up back for more
[Chorus]
You’re my sloppy joe
My late-night, hold-me-close
Running down my hands
Dripping on my clothes
Can’t bring you ‘round my mama
But damn, you soothe my soul
Baby, you’re my one and only
Yeah, my sloppy joe (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Friends say you’re a problem
They don’t see what I see
How you fall apart in my arms
Right here on this couch with me
You leave stains on my t-shirt
Lip prints on my chin
Every little loose piece
I gotta lick back in
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re dangerous on white sheets
You’re trouble on the road
But when I’m feeling empty
You fill me up so full
[Chorus]
You’re my sloppy joe
My late-night, hold-me-close
Running down my hands
Dripping on my clothes
Can’t bring you ‘round my mama
But damn, you soothe my soul
Baby, you’re my one and only
Yeah, my sloppy joe (hey!)
[Bridge]
Thought I wanted candlelight
Some red wine, something slow
Turns out what I’m craving
Comes wrapped in foil to go
Who needs fancy dinner
When I can hold you tight
Two buns and a paper plate
That’s my kind of night
[Chorus]
You’re my sloppy joe
My late-night, hold-me-close
Running down my hands
Dripping on my clothes
They all say I’m crazy
But they don’t wanna know
How it feels to fall in love
With a sloppy joe
[Outro]
Yeah, I’ll never let you go
Come here, my sloppy joe
