Mick Jagger 

Sweet Thing ( Wandering Spirit)

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