Oh, you don't always say the words
I wanna hear, no baby
But To me you're really saying
Something dear

Oh, you're not the kind of girl
To win a beauty prize
Just your smile, girl, lets me know
Where your beauty lies
Makes me realize

You're a sweet thing
You're a sweet thing
Baby, listen, honey

You can't seem to do the things
I ask you to
Oh, but I can't help but love
The way you do the things you do

No, you're not the kind of girl
That men just can't resist
There's a certain somethin' in your kiss
Oh, makes me wanna sing

You're a sweet thing
You are a sweet thing
Baby, ohh baby

Yeah yeah, you're a sweet thing
You are a sweet thing, baby

There may be a lot of things
You'll never be
Oh, but the little things you are
They mean everything to me

So love, don't ever try and be
All mankind's ideal
Just stay the way you are
Right now, girl
Truthful and for real
You've got your appeal

Ohh, you're a sweet thing
Honey, you are a sweet thing
Baby, sweeter than wine
That's why I'm glad you're mine

Baby, sweeter than a rose
So now my love just grows and grows
