Songtexte Sweet Thing - Marvin Gaye

Oh, you don't always say the words I wanna hear, no baby
But to me you're really saying something dear
Oh, you're not the kind of girl to win a beauty prize
Just your smile, girl, lets me know where your beauty lies
Makes me realize you're a sweet thing
You're a sweet thing, baby, listen, honey

You can't seem to do the things I ask you to
Oh, but I can't help but love the way you do the things you do

No, you're not the kind of girl that men just can't resist
There's a certain somethin' in your kiss
Oh, makes me wanna sing

You're a sweet thing
You are a sweet thing baby, oh baby

Yeah yeah, you're a sweet thing
You are a sweet thing, baby

There may be a lot of things you'll never be
Oh, but the little things you are
They mean everything to me

So love, don't ever try and be all mankind's ideal
Just stay the way you are right now, girl
Truthful and for real
You've got your appeal

Oh, you're a sweet thing
Honey, you are a sweet thing
Baby, sweeter than wine
That's why I'm glad you're mine

Baby, sweeter than a rose
So now my love just grows and grows
