Ooh, girl, you know like I know, uh-huh

What your lovin', girl, has done for me

Like a Mona Lisa hangin' on a wall, uh-huh

You're a lovely sight, lovely sight to see, mmm, hmm

The way you give me your sweet love

Any place and time when you look at me I get weak in my knees

I'm so thankful that you're mine

Your sweetness is my weakness, yeah

Girl, your sweetness is my weakness, yeah, yeah

Sweetness is my weakness, well

You sweetness is my weakness

They all say that I'm a fool, uh-huh

For lovin' you, for lovin' you this way

But sure as I am, I don't give a damn

About what the people, what the people say

Other girls try to imitate you

With the other boys, uh-huh

But I'm the only boy 'round here

Whose got the real macoy

Sweetness is my weakness, yeah, yeah

Sweetness is my weakness, yeah (Uh-huh), yeah (Uh-huh)

Sweetness is my weakness, yeah (Ooh), yeah (Ooh)

Sweetness is my weakness, yeah, yeah

Sweetness is my weakness.
