The Sweetest Thing

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I'm going on a date tonight

To try to fall out of love with you

I know, I know this is a crime

But I don't know what else to do

My love, you're in a magazine

My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV

You wore my heart out, then you run away

From Chicago to Cleveland, you made me pay

You made me pay

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother to hear you sing

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother

On the bus radio, "Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"

I laughed at the irony

But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me

It got lost on me

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother to hear you sing

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

You challenged me to write a love song

Here it is, I think I got it wrong

I focused on the negative

The pain was too much to write and sing

Oh, it was my incentive

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother to hear you sing

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother to hear you sing

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother to hear you sing

When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing

I would trade my mother

But she don't know just how far I'd go

Would I walk for a hundred miles for a glimpse of your northern smile?

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
