Sweetest 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.
My love, she throws me like a rubber ball
(Oh, the sweetest thing)
But she won't catch me or break my fall
(Oh, the sweetest thing)
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this, I'm a rain cloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love
(Oh, the sweetest thing)
I'm losing you, yeah, hey
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
I wanted to run, but she made me crawl
(Oh, the sweetest thing)
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
(Oh, the sweetest thing)
I know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
I guess it's a blind kind of love
(Oh, the sweetest thing)
I'm losing you, oh
I'm losing you, yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
(Oh, the sweetest thing)
Oh, yeah
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
(Oh, the sweetest thing)
You can sew it up, but you still see the tear
(Oh, the sweetest thing)
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this, I'm a rain cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love
(Oh, the sweetest thing)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo) the sweetest thing
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Oh, the sweetest thing
