Lyrics Paul Kelly – The Sweetest Thing

When you came into the room
You didn’t walk in through the door
You didn’t steal through the window
Neither did you rise up through the floor

You’re the sweetest thing that ever happened to me
Baby, you’re the sweetest thing that ever happened to me

Ah, your daddy ain’t so rich
But your mama sure is fine
Don’t you know he’s got a song for you
The words keep a-changing all the time

You’re the sweetest thing that ever happened to me
Honey, you’re the sweetest thing that ever happened to me

I’m living in a strange new world
Things are never gonna be the same
I’m a slave to a selfish girl
And she don’t even know my name!

She’s the sweetest thing that ever happened to me
Sure is the sweetest… mmmm… the sweetest thing that ever happened to me
