Sweet thing, you make my heart sing

You turn darkness into light

You make everything alright

Sweet thing, you make the bells ring

Ding dong, and sweet and true

Attaching me to you.



(Sweeter than the taste of sugar cane)

No sugar cane could be

As sweet as you are to me

(Sweeter than whatever you can name)

Like candy, cake or honey

Wouldn抰 give you up for love or money.



Sweet thing, you are my everything

You're all I need and more 

Than my heart a-bargained for

Sweet thing, you are what's happening

You're just a bundle of love

Happiness and love.



Sweeter than the taste of honey dew

A honey-dew male is sweet, it's true

But it just ain't quite as sweet as you

Sweeping is the way to measure you

I look at the scale and it's a shame

I have more sweetness inch to inch

I have more sweetness pound to pound

Than any other sweet thing I have found.



Sweet thing, sweet, sweet thing

Sweet thing, sweet, sweet thing.



Sweeter than the taste of honey dew

A honey-dew male is sweet, it's true

But it just ain't quite as sweet as you

Sweeping is the way to measure you

I look at the scale and it's a shame

I have more sweetness inch to inch

I have more sweetness pound to pound

Than any other sweet thing I have found.



Sweet thing, you are what's happening

You're just a bundle of love

Happiness and love

Say it, sweet thing, you are my everything

You're all I need and more 

Than my heart a-bargained for

Sweet thing, you make my heart sing

You turn darkness into light

You make everything alright

Sweet thing, you make the bells ring

Ding dong, and sweet and true

Attaching me to you.
