[Intro]
Sweet love standing at my gate
Oh, my sweet love
It sure would feel good to feel good again
Oh, my sweet love

[Verse 1]
You say that you need me
You'll always believe me
Oh, my sweet love
That our love is forever
We'll always be together
Oh, my sweet love

[Verse 2]
You say you'll always come through
There's nothing you won't do
Oh, my sweet love
But I've heard it all before
I can't beg you anymore
Oh, my sweet love

[Chorus]
You're the woman who knows exactly what she's doing
You're the girl who ate the apple off the tree
When you're good you're just crazy
When you're bad you're too much

[Verse 3]
You say you'll never hurt me
You'll never desert me
Oh, my sweet love
That your words are always true
I can depend on you
Oh, my sweet love
Then you get in the wind
And all the storms begin
Oh, my sweet love
When you're sad and dismantled
And all your senses are rattled
Oh, my sweet love

[Chorus]
You're the woman who knows exactly what she's doing
You're the girl who ate the apple off the tree
When you're good it's just crazy
When you're bad it's too much

[Outro]
Sweet love standing at my gate
Oh, my sweet love
It sure would feel good to feel good again
Oh, my sweet love
