[Verse 1]
Oh, you don't always say the words
I want to hear, no baby
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
[Chorus]
You're a sweet thing
You're a sweet thing, baby, listen, honey
[Verse 2]
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 something in your kiss
Oh, makes me want to sing
[Chorus][x2]
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
Oh, 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
