Chaka Khan
Sweet Thing
[Verse 1]
Lying with her head low, a moonlit silhouette
A weeping willow, sweat keeps my pillow wet
Get up embracing the pillowcase
As I whisper her name, while I’m pacing
Back and forth, ‘til I see footprints
It’s becoming a nuisance, now this is just nonsense
It’s been about a week since I’ve been involved with her
And already, I feel that I’m in love with her
I’m like, damn, and at the clock I peep
I realize that I’ve got no sleep
‘Cause of the simple fact her face is in my mind
It has me in love, in the love, I’m blind
I never felt this way for a girl so quick at wall
I write her name on the bedroom wall
To remind myself of the way I feel and
To me you’re everything, we’ll embrace
Emotions will sing, a symphony of love to my sweet thing

[Chorus]
Sweet thing…you’re my sweet thing
Oh, sweet thing…you’re my sweet thing

[Verse 2]
As I close my eyes, fantasies of ecstasy
Erotic emotions while you lie next to me
In a bed of silk, just us two
I move a little closer—may I touch you?
But a simple touch quickly becomes a clutch
As I hold you tighter, I get this sudden rush
Lovin’ how you bite me, squeeze me so tightly
In a world of lust is where you invite me
Bodies caressing, chest against chest and
Feelings of love is what I’m confessing
Muscles will tighten, your legs’ll start clamping
Around my waist as the sheets get dampened
In the heat of passion, sweat drips like rain
Feels so good but it brings such pain
Each other we’re tasting, fingers are tracing
Marks for pleasure down my spine, I find it wasting time
In a fantasy—now tell me, can it be
Because of you, I’m on the brink of insanity
I call you over to only find you’re sleepless
I hope you feel the same way, girl, I can’t keep this
Dream of mine, I give it a try
And if I succeed, then you will be my sweet thing
[Chorus]
Sweet thing…you’re my sweet thing
Oh, sweet thing…you’re my sweet thing
Oh, oh, oh…ooh-hoo, yes, you are

[Verse 3]
I wish you were my lover, you act so undercover
Forget the world, we’ll just love each other
Shared emotions, to our bodies we’re clinging
Look you’re your eyes, they’re sparkling and twinkling
Touch your cheek and speak feelings that’s true
Do you feel the same way? (Yes, I do)
Ooh, my sweet thing

[Outro]
You are my heat, you are my fire
Fill me up with strong desire
Love you, child, my whole life long
Be it right or be it wrong
I just want to satisfy you
‘Cause if you’re not mine I can’t deny ya
Don’t you hear me talking, baby?
Love me now or I’ll go crazy
Sweet thing, you’re my sweet thing
Sweet thing, sweet thing
Sweet thing; oh, sweet thing
Sweet thing; you’re my sweet thing
Sweet thing, sweet thing
Sweet thing; oh, oh baby
Sweet thing, sweet thing
You’re my sweet thing…
