Songwriter: Ivy Jo Hunter William “Mickey” Stevenson

Producer: Ivy Jo Hunter William “Mickey” Stevenson

[Verse 1]
You don't always say the words I wanna hear (Wanna hear)
But to me, you're really saying something, dear
(Something, dear)

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Girl, you're a sweet thing
I said sweet thing (Sweet thing)

[Verse 2]
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)

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Girl, you're a sweet thing
I said sweet thing (Sweet thing)

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Sweet, sweet thing
Sweet, sweet thing

[Verse 3]
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)

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Girl, you a sweet thing (Sweet thing)
I said sweet thing (Sweet thing)

[Outro]
You're sweeter than wine (Sweet thing)
And that's why I'm gonna make you mine
I'm so glad, so glad, so glad I found you just in time
