FOR THE SWEETNESS OF YOUR LOVE

Luther Vandross and Marcus Miller

(album:BUSY BODY - 1983)



What's your name

Girl, what's your number

I think I fell in love the first time I ever saw ya

And I couldn't get you off my mind, Hey Hey

You reminded me of candy

So you be my Mary Jane

And I'll be your Sugar Daddy

And we can make sweet love all the time

Ooh girl



Chorus:

I'd travel to the farthest star

(For the sweetness of your lovin')

You're so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet

Much sweeter than the sugar in a candy bar

(Is the sweetness of your love)

Yeah, talkin' 'bout 

And my rocket would only stop

(For the sweetness of your lovin')

Well, Well (Well, Well) Hey

All I ever think about

(Is the sweetness of your love)

What ya say

(Say Yeah Yeah) Yeah Yeah



You call for it, I'll deliver

I'll bring you anything

So fast it'll make you shiver

Whatever it is, from A to Z, Hey Hey

Let me prove that I can love ya

I'll do a dance for you

Anything that I can to get a chance to love you

Of whomever you dream, I wanna be



Repeat Chorus



Bridge:

I'd take my money out the bank

(For the sweetness of your love)

And I'd buy you a great big diamond ring

(For the sweetness of your love)

'Cause Ooo baby, I'd do anything

(For the sweetness of your lovin')

'Cause you're so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet



And I'd go 10 rounds with Sugar Ray

(For the sweetness of your love)

And I'd eat my Wheaties everday

(For the sweetness of your love)

BANG! ZOOM! And he would fly away

(For the sweetness of your lovin')

Well Well Yeah Yeah



You could be lost in danger with a stranger

Caught up in mystery

A one night insanity, girl

And quite an emotional tragedy it would be

Then I'd come running just to save you

I'd be your hero guy

In a flash, in a minute I'd be there in no time

And you'd be forever loving me



Repeat Chorus



Sweet, sweet (Sweet, sweet)

(For the sweetness of your love)

And I'd say Ooo wee

(Ooo wee, for the sweetness of your love)

And I'd be what you want me to be

(For the sweetness of your lovin')

'Cause you're so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet



Say Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)

(For the sweetness of your love)

And I'd go anywhere

(Anywhere, for the sweetness of your love)

And I'd call you up when I got there

(For the sweetness of your lovin')

Yeah Yeah Yeah

(Sweet, sweet for the sweetness of your love)

Ooo wee  (Ooo wee, for the sweetness of your love)



I'd be what you want me to be

(For the sweetness of your lovin')

Well, Well  (Well, Well)

Say Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)

(For the sweetness of your love)

I'd follow you anywhere

(Anywhere, for the sweetness of your love)

And I'd call you up when I got there

(For the sweetness of your lovin')

(Sweet, Sweet, for the sweetness of your love)

(Ooo wee for the sweetness of your love)

And I'd even wrestle Mister T

(For the sweetness of your lovin')

Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
