You don't always say the words I wanna hear
But to me, you really say something dear
No, you're not the kind of girl
A man just can't resist
But there's a certain something in your kiss
Ooh, that makes me wanna say

You're a sweet thing
Yes, a sweet thing

You can't seem to do the things I ask you to
But I can't help but love
The way you do the things things you do
No, you're not the kind of girl
To win a beauty prize
But just your smile makes me learn
Where your beauty lies
And I realise

You're a sweet thing
Yes, a sweet thing

Sweet, sweet thing
Sweet, sweet thing

There must be a lot of things you will never be
But the little things you are mean everything to me
So love, don't try to be
All mankind's ideal
Just stay the way you are right now
Happy and for real
You got your all to give

You're a sweet thing
Yes, you're a sweet thing
I said a sweet thing
I'll say it again, you're a sweet thing
Darling, you got your all to give
