Sweet little thing.
Her smile brings all the joy
that life could bring.
She found herself a boy.

He said he'd love her,
said he'd take care of her
and hold her. He told her
he'd never let her go,

and so she let him in.
She gave him everything he wanted.
She was haunted by his touch
and she did so much to show

-
Bridge
she wanted him to keep her right there by his side.
Protect her, respect her,
and make her feel alive.
-
Chorus
She felt such a lucky girl.
Knew he could change her world,
take the loneliness away
and brighten up her darkest day.

But her mind was young back then.
She didn't realise that when
he'd taken everything
he'd find himself a new sweet little thing.

Oh-OH-Oh, Oh-OH-Oh, Oh-OH-Oh. Ahh-Ahh.
Oh-OH-Oh, Oh-OH-Oh-ohhh


Verse 2

Three years gone by.
Time to mend her shattered heart.
She meets a guy;
says he's looking for a brand new start

but he's been hurt before
and he don't want no more
surprises. He disguises
his loneliness with laughs and smiles.

She's much stronger now,
but she's still learning how
to trust again, she never wants
to feel the pain she felt back then.

Bridge
He says sweet little thing I'm scared as well,
this year I've been through hell.
But don't let life pass you by.
Don't let him be the reason why.
-
Chorus
Oh I'm so lucky to have met you girl.
You know you've changed my world?
You chase my loneliness away
and brighten up my darkest day,

Girl we belong together.
I promise you I'll never
break your precious heart.
So take my hand, let's make a brand new start.

Oh-OH-Oh, Oh-OH-Oh, Oh-OH-Oh. Ahh-Ahh.
Oh-OH-Oh, Oh-OH-Oh-ohhh

Sweet little thing you look so beautiful tonight.
With flowers in your hair, dressed in your gown of white.
Give me your love and I will give you everything.
A small price to pay for all the love and joy you bring
sweet little thing.

Oh-OH-Oh, Oh-OH-Oh, Oh-OH-Oh. Ahh-Ahh.
Oh-OH-Oh Oh-OH-Oh, Oh-OH-Oh-ohhh sweet little thing...
