I wanna dedicate this song
To the most wonderful person that I know
She filled my life with joy and happiness
And I have her love wherever I go
I wanna tell her how I feel about her tonight, listen

You're the sweetest thing on this side of heaven
You're the sweetest thing on this side of heaven

It ain't no love, ain't no love, no
Like my baby's love
You bring me so much joy and happiness
Ooh, like it rains from above
Oh, baby

You're the sweetest thing on this side of heaven
You're the sweetest thing on this side of heaven

I don't need much money
I don't need no big fine car
Other temptations don't bother me no more
'Cause you're my only pride and joy
Yeah, baby

You're the sweetest thing
On this side of heaven (my baby, my baby, my baby)
You're the sweetest thing on this side of heaven

I don't need no doctor
Whenever I'm in pain
You cool my scorching fever
Simply by calling my name
Yeah, hey, yeah

You're the sweetest thing on this side of heaven
You're the sweetest thing on this side of heaven

Let me say it one more time
You're the sweetest thing on this side of heaven
