"Sweet Thing" lyrics

When I picked you up for our first date, baby
Well, your pretty blue eyes. They were driving me crazy
And the tiny little thought that was so amazing
Is they were looking at me
I held open the car door for you then you climbed
Inside and slid on over
To the other side. I thought my, oh, my

Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree
It's a good thing and I'm wishing
C'mon, sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleeping
'Cause you know I need you?
And there's no way I'll be leaving
'Til we're kissing on the porch swing
Oh, my little sweet thing

Yeah. I know I'm gonna see you first thing tomorrow
But I just couldn't wait. So, I had to borrow
Uncle Jake's mustang. It's his favorite car
And so, I can't stay long
Standing here feeling like a love-struck Romeo
All I wanna do is hold you close and steal a little more time
Is that such a crime?

Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree
It's a good thing and I'm wishing
C'mon, sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleeping
'Cause you know I need you?
And there's no way I'll be leaving
'Til we're kissing on the porch swing
Oh, my little sweet thing

Sweet thing, sweet thing

Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree
It's a good thing and I'm wishing
C'mon, sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleeping
'Cause you know I need you?
And there's no way I'll be leaving
'Til we're kissing on the porch swing
Oh, my little sweet thing

Oh, come on, sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing

Yeah. Come on now. A little now
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Oh, my little sweet thing. Yes. You are
Do do do do do do do do do do do
