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

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

Now I don't want to spoil the party
I know it goes against the grain
As the plane touched down, I got movies of you (And the midnight moon)
Running through my fevered brain (Can't just walk away)

I really love my sweet thing
I can't give her up

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

I can't give it up

Really love my sweet thing
Want to lick it up

Hey really love...

Can't give it up
Shake it

Really love my sweet thing
Can't give it up

I can't give it up

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

TrackTalk

I wrote Sweet Thing on the keyboards. I'm playing the clavinet part on that one.

(O)n a song like Sweet Thing I used the falsetto voice because I think it suited the groove. I like singing in falsetto, but just to be clear, I'm not really a fairy!
