Sweet Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I will love you anyway, even if you cannot stay
I think you are the one for me
Here is where you ought to be
I just wanna satisfy ya
‘Cause you’re not mine and I can’t deny it
Don’t you hear me talkin’, baby?
Love me now or I’ll go crazy
Whoa, sweet thing
Don’t you know you’re my everything?
Whoa, sweet thing
Don’t you know you’re my everything?
Yes, you are
I wish you were my lover, but you act so undercover
Love you child my whole life long, be it right or be it wrong
More than what you make me, baby
Don’t walk away, don’t be so shady
Don't want your mind, don’t want your money
These words I say, they may sound funny, but
Whoa, sweet thing, yeah
Don’t you know you’re my everything?
Whoa, sweet thing
Don’t you know you’re my everything?
Yes, you are
Yes, you are, baby
You are my heat, you are my fire
You make me weak with strong desire
Love you child my whole life long
Be it right or be it wrong
I just want to satisfy ya
‘Cause you’re not mine, I can’t deny it
Don’t you hear me talkin’, baby?
Love me now or I’ll go crazy
You’re my heat, you are my fire
You’re not mine, I can’t deny ya
Don’t you hear me talkin’, baby?
Love me now or I’ll go crazy
You’re my heat, you are my fire
You’re not mine, I can’t deny ya
Don’t you hear me talkin’, baby?
Love me now or I’ll go crazy
You’re my heat, you are my fire
You’re not mine, I can’t deny ya
Don’t you hear me talkin’, baby?
Love me now or I’ll go crazy
You’re my heat, you are my fire
You’re not mine, I can’t deny ya
Don’t you hear me talkin’, baby?
Love me now or I’ll go crazy
C’mon, 'cause you’re my sweet thing
I don’t care what you do to me
Oh no no no no
