I am getting ready for my lover,
He is coming home to me tomorrow,
I am getting ready for no other,
He is, the sunshine in, the moonlight of my day.
He as never had to disappoint me,
He was the Sweetest thing,
The neediest thing in my life,
I am getting ready for my lover,
He is, the sunshine in, the moonlight of my day.
It's only fair that you be there with me,
And hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me,
And understand
It's only fair, if you really dare,
To hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me
Pitum pitum pitum...
I remember sweetness in my childhood,
It was the sweetness child, the world was my understood,
I remember sweetness in my mother,
She did the best she could,
She always would for us
Don't you ever have to disappoint me,
It's only fair that you be there with me,
and hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me,
And understand
It's only fair, if you really dare,
To hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me
Pitum pitum pitum...
Talilalila...the sweetest thing...
