Sara Bareilles - Sweet As Whole Lyrics






Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
Got this sugary me stuffed up in my sleeve
And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
And I'm just who you want me to be
But like most creatures down here on the ground
I'm composed of the elements moving around
And I grow and change and I shift and I switch
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch
But that only happens when I get provoked
By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
That mean songs are still better than going postal

And that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No gettin' away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole
Oh-asshole
Asshole
Asshole

I see I've surprised you with some of my words
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
And I hate to think that I ruined the day
Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
Your toxin wasting perfectly good space
And I say what I think
'Cause it's more economic than drugs or a drink

That guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No gettin' away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole

And I won't let him in
Under my skin
You're a sad sack of shit
That's pathetic
Just a festering sore
Who will never be more than that
If I don't let it

And that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No gettin' away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole

That guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No gettin' away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole

    Never before have I heard the word asshole sung so beautifully.

  7. B.... L....

    This has got to be my new favorite song

  8. m.... ....

    The tambourine is such a nice touch

  9. J.... ....

    My God, compare this song to the title track of the album... it's incredible the emotional range that Sara Bareilles can cover XD

  10. E.... M....

    Best play on words/hiding of a swear word in a title

  11. C.... B....

    "Mean songs are still better than going POSTAL"
    POSTAL definition: beating the ever living shit outta someone who's begging for it!

  12. T.... L....

    I am IN LOVE with this song at my first listening

  13. A.... K....

    So my boyfriend had a huge fight and I was crying and jamming my spotify... all of the sudden this song came on and turned my frown upside down. 🤣🤣 couldn't have heard this perfect song at a better time in my life!!! Now...its our song LOLOLOLOL

  14. R.... W....

    ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  15. E.... W....

    I just realized—this is the ultimate Sara B drinking song.

    E.... W....

    I mean, picture a dingy old bar stuffed with the meanest and drunkest pirates you can imagine. They’re definitely singing this song in slurred unison.

  16. l.... ....

    Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
    Got this sugary me stuffed up in my sleeve
    And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
    And I'm just who you want me to be
    But like most creatures down here on the ground
    I'm composed of the elements moving around
    And I grow and change and I shift and I switch
    And it turns out I'm actually kind of a b****
    But that only happens when I get provoked
    By some piece of s*** a**hole we all sadly know
    And I sit and I write while reminding you all
    That mean songs are still better than going postalAnd that guy's an a**hole
    That girl's a b****
    Baby it's natural
    No gettin' away from it
    So sing it out with me
    And then let it go
    F*** that guy he's just an a**hole
    Oh a**hole
    A**hole
    A**holeI see I've surprised you with some of my words
    And I… I see I've surprised you with some of my words
    And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
    And I hate to think that I ruined the day
    Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade
    But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
    Your toxin wasting perfectly good space
    And I say what I think
    'Cause it's more economic than drugs or a drinkThat guy's an a**hole
    That girl's a b****
    Baby it's natural
    No gettin' away from it
    So sing it out with me
    And then let it go
    F*** that guy he's just an a**holeAnd I won't let him in
    Under my skin

  17. K.... R....

    Only she could've done something like this!! She makes swearing so elegant and graceful 😄😄👌🏼👌🏼 and the title is just so clever 😊

    K.... R....

    I know!! I clicked on this expecting something like her “One Sweet Love” song, and I got something so very, very different 😂😂😂😂

  18. K.... S....

    when you are walking on the streets and listening to this song while pointing at other people.. loud..

  19. T.... ....

    Sweet As Whole is supposed to be "Sweet Asshole" right?

    T.... ....

    Yep I think so

  20. E.... ....

    Almost cried lol this is kinda beautiful

  21. N.... F....

    Perfect lyrics and 100% relatable for anyone who works or has worked in the service industry.

  22. m.... s....

    I love the art by which you put real honest words into beautiful songs

  23. M.... 4....

    Yes Sara I am quite surprised.. in a good way

  24. C.... ....

    I saw the title... I wasn't even surprised xD people are just never assholes ofc, they have a reason for their behaviour even if it's usually a stupid one, so I consider this dismissive song about all the asshole trolls who can't be reasoned with and harass unprovoked. Great song :)

  25. E.... S....

    Love this song she so Talented !!

  26. A.... H....

    Such a perfect song!

  27. h.... ....

    This got some abba vibe thoooo

    This song gets me through bad days. It always makes me feel better. I first heard it because a good friend of mine performed it for me. I've loved it ever since. You're amazing :)

  29. S.... W....

    My theme song!

  30. E.... P....

    Works like therapy

  31. J.... T....

    I love your sweet as whole.

  32. M.... P....

    The anthem of anyone that works in customer service and retail.

  33. M.... S....

    Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
Got this sugary me stuffed in my sleeve
And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
And I'm just who you want me to be
But like most creatures down here on the ground
I'm composed of the elements moving around
And I grow and change and I shift and I switch
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch
But that only happens when I get provoked
By some piece of shit asshole we
All sadly know
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
That mean songs are still better than going postal
And that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No gettin' away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole
Oh-asshole
Asshole
Asshole
I see I've surprised you with some of my words
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
And I hate to think that I ruined the day
Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
Your toxin wasting perfectly good space
And I say what I think
Cause it's more economic than drugs or a drink
That guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No gettin' away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole
And I won't let him in
Under my skin
You're a sad sack of shit

Who will never be more than that
If I don't let it
And that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch

So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole
That guy's an asshole (That guy's an asshole)

Fuck that guy he's just an asshole

  34. S.... ....

    Ok this is my new theme song

  35. s.... s....

    me: listens to this in my with volume turned all the way up
    mom: walks in "THE HELL R U LISTENING TO"
    me:"the very thing that explains my life!!!

  36. M.... B....

    i fuckin LOVE THIS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG

  37. Q.... ....

    this is great. hahaha.

  38. R.... ....

    LOVE this song, and singing along with Sara is SO much 'more economical than drugs or a drink'! I find myself striking it up every time Trump appears on my TV screen lately...
    F*ck that guy, he's just an asshole! So sing it out with me, people, then let it go...

    I'm NOT letting go in this sick POTUS' case, though! Resist and persist, everyone; Sara certainly is! Even my local Cat Café in Brooklyn sports a sticker in its window with a cartoon of a cat in boxing gloves and the following exhortations: "Pussies Against Trump!! You Can't Grab This!" (=

  39. R.... B....

    This is amazing...I'd love to share on my social media but it will be all too obvious who it is about! LOL

  40. W.... ....

    Sara Bareilles is my musical therapist.

  41. Z.... F....

    This song is great

  42. B.... ....

    I DIDNT KNOW SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON COULD MAKE SUCH A GOOD SONG 😂😂😂

  43. O.... A....

    wonderful....😍

  44. R.... L....

    I have just discovered this song! I'm so grateful for it! Sara, you're amazing, more than amazing!
    This song just fills my heart! <3

  45. S.... S....

    This song has totally picked up my spirits after another crazy, nearly defeating day at work.

  46. M.... ....

    I was never so surprised by a song, I serously couldn´t stop laughing, this is so great!

    M.... ....

    Check out "I Hate" by Passenger. Definitely not like "Let Her Go".

  47. m.... c....

    IT'S LIKE SHE KNOWS

  48. C.... J....

    after months of taking shit at work I finally just chewed a coworker out. feeling a bit sheepish.

  49. M.... S....

    I dedicate this song to my period.

  50. M.... S....

    Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet

    Got this sugary me stuffed in my sleeve

    And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things

    And I'm just who you want me to be

    Baby, it's natural

    No gettin' away from it

    So sing it out with me

    And then let it go

    Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole

    Oh, asshole, asshole, asshole


    I see I've surprised you with some of my words

    And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt

    And I hate to think that I ruined the day

    Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade

    But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways

    Your toxin wasting perfectly good space

    And I say what I think

    Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole


    And I won't let him in

  95. t.... ....

    Great song, great lyrics. One of her better pieces. Thanks! PTxS

  96. l.... ....

    I roll down the windows and turn this up loud when I'm in midtown traffic and the other drivers are all tourists or cabbies or grandpas on their Sunday drive. It's remarkably cathartic to sing along at the top of your lungs. It makes you almost happy in a way when the dick in the next lane cuts you off.

    l.... ....

    very well said. couldn't agree more.haha

  97. N.... ....

    65 people are assholes

    N.... ....
