Lyrics Sweet Darlin' - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

Sweet Darlin'

You’re the prized morn sunshine that fills my every day
You’re the sweet soul music that sets my heart at play
You’re the string around my mind that spins it like a top
It’s such a good bad habit I just don’t wanna stop
You’ve got my mind in a ball & chain
Your good love is drivin' me insane
Like a moth I can’t help flyin' for the flame, sweet darling
I’d walk a mile just to see your face
And you can change the child in your embrace
'Cause when you smile I’m a hopeless case, sweet darling
Hmm hmmmm-mm-mmm, hmmm hmmmmm
Hmm hmmmm-mm-mmm, oh yes you are
All my friends and neighbors just can’t believe it’s true
They say you’re no good for me, honey, and I’m too good for you
But if I stand this I’m standing, always will be thin
'Cause they can’t see what you mean to me from the outside lookin' in
I’m gonna love you till the end of time
With a love as strong as a Georgia pine
Ain’t no bad talk that’s gonna change my mind, sweet darling
I’m like a needle in a stack of hay
Here I am & here I stay
Till milk runs out of the Milky Way, sweet darling
Hmm hmmmm-mm-mmm, oh yes you are
Hmm hmmmm-mm-mmm, oh yes you are
You’ve got my mind in a ball & chain
Your good love is drivin' me insane
Like a moth I can’t help flyin' for the flame, sweet darling
I’d walk a mile just to see your face
And you can change the child in your embrace
'Cause when you smile I’m a hopeless case, sweet darling
Hmm hmmmm-mm-mmm, hmmm hmmmmm
Hmm hmmmm-mm-mmm, oh yes you are
