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.
