Sweet Thing

(álbum: The Original Spinners - 1967)

You don't always say the words I wanna hear (Wanna hear)
But to me, you're really saying something, dear
(Something, dear)
Though you're not the kind of girl that men just can't resist
There's a certain something in your kiss
That makes me wanna sing, girl, you're a sweet thing
I said sweet thing

Now you can't seem to do the things I ask you to (Ask you to)
But I can't help but love the way you do the things you do
(Things you do)
Though you're not the kind of girl to win a beauty prize
But just your smile lets me know, girl, where your beauty lies
It makes me realize, girl, you're a sweet thing
I said sweet thing

Sweet, sweet thing
Sweet, sweet thing

There may be a lot of things you will never be (Never be)
But the little things you are means everything to me
(Thing to me)
So girl, don't try to ever be all mankind ideals
Just stay the way you are right now, truthful and for real
You've got your own appeal, girl, you a sweet thing
I said sweet thing
You're sweeter than wine
And that's why I'm gonna make you mine
I'm so glad, so glad, so glad I found you just in time
