Sweet Thing lyrics - Mick Jagger

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 wanna spoil the party

I know it goes against the grain

As the plane touched down I got movies of you

Running through my fevered brain

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

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

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

I can't give it up

I can't give it up

I can't give it up

Now I don't wanna spoil the party

I know it goes against the grain

As the plane touched down, and the midnight moon

Can't just walk away

Really love my sweet thing, wanna' lick it up

Really love my sweet thing, wanna' lick it up

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

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