Sweet ThingMick Jagger

Songwriter: Mick Jagger

Producer: Mick Jagger Rick Rubin

[Verse 1]
In the beginning when life was simple
We were at each other night and day
You were so sensual and so inventive
We said we'd stick together come what may

[Verse 2]
In the beginning, you were so brutal
You turned the heat on in the afternoon
Get so excited, get so addicted
You had me eating from your golden spoon

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I don't wanna spoil the party
I know it goes against the grain
As the plane touched down I got movies of you
Running through my fevered brain

[Chorus]
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
Uh, Uh!

[Verse 3]
In the beginning, when we were winning
I was your ever-present love-sick fool
You turned the heat off and left me standing
Freezing by your swimming pool

[Bridge]
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I don't wanna spoil the party
I know it goes against the grain
As the plane touched down, and the midnight moon
Can't just walk away

[Chorus]
Really love my sweet thing, wanna lick it up
Really love my sweet thing, wanna lick it up, yeah
Really love my sweet thing

[Sax solo]

Can't give it up
I can't give it up, I can't give it up
I can't give it up, really
Really love my sweet thing, I can't give it up
I can't give it up, I can't give it up, hey
