Sweet Thing
Marvin Gaye · Other Songs - Marvin Gaye
I wanna hear, no baby
To me you're really saying
Something dear
Ohh, 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
Ohh, 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
Ohh, 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
Ooh, 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
You're sweeter baby
