Sweet Love On My Mind

Well, I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind

If you really gonna leave me let me love you just one more time

Well, you know I love you baby, I need your lovin' bad

Well give me some sweet love right this minute or you're gonna make me mad

I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind

Well you love me, then you leave me and I cry the whole night through

Yeah you love me, then you leave me and I don't know what to do

I need your little ol' arms around me to hold and squeeze me tight

But you just love and leave me gal and you know that that ain't right

I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind



I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind

Well now won't you love me baby and I know I don't lose my mind

Well, you know I love you honey, but you don't treat me right

Better give me just a little bit of your sweet lovin'

Or we're gonna have a big fight

I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind

Well the river looks cold and the bottom is a long way down

If you really gonna leave me, that's where I'm gonna be found

When the mailman comes in the morning, there's a note upon my door

Just bring my mail to the bottom of the river, I don't live here no more

I'm a man who's got nothing but sweet love on my mind
