Lyrics
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they do
Take all of my loving
Come on and get it
I've been loving you too long
And I can't quit it
Little boy, how do you do
What you do when you do it?
All I know is it's so doggone good
You're sweet, babe (sweet you're my sweet sugar for my honey)
You're sweet, babe (sweet, sweet baby, sugar, sugar honey)
You've got enough sugar
To start a sugarcane mill
And oh-oh-oh, when you hold me, baby
I'm thinking of a lifetime deal
Little boy, how do you say
What you say when you say it?
It sounds so good I just got to okay it (woo)
You're sweet, babe
You're sweet (you're sweet, babe), babe
When you kiss me I have to give on in
But I tried hard not to let it show
But then you hauled off and you kiss me again
Hold it right there, I got to have you, I swear
Oh, lover
You can love me forever
I'm gonna hold on to your hand
'Cause you're a sweet, sweet, sweet man
Take care, take care, take care of my heart please
Baby, take care of all my needs
I'm gonna hold out on to your hand
Because baby, baby, baby, baby, you're a sweet, sweet man
