Song Lyrics

FOR THE SWEETNESS OF YOUR LOVE
Luther Vandross and Marcus Miller
(album:BUSY BODY - 1983)

What`s your name
Girl, what`s your number
I think I fell in love the first time I ever saw ya
And I couldn`t get you off my mind, Hey Hey
You reminded me of candy
So you be my Mary Jane
And I`ll be your Sugar Daddy
And we can make sweet love all the time
Ooh girl

Chorus:
I`d travel to the farthest star
(For the sweetness of your lovin`)
You`re so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
Much sweeter than the sugar in a candy bar
(Is the sweetness of your love)
Yeah, talkin` `bout
And my rocket would only stop
(For the sweetness of your lovin`)
Well, Well (Well, Well) Hey
All I ever think about
(Is the sweetness of your love)
What ya say
(Say Yeah Yeah) Yeah Yeah

You call for it, I`ll deliver
I`ll bring you anything
So fast it`ll make you shiver
Whatever it is, from A to Z, Hey Hey
Let me prove that I can love ya
I`ll do a dance for you
Anything that I can to get a chance to love you
Of whomever you dream, I wanna be

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I`d take my money out the bank
(For the sweetness of your love)
And I`d buy you a great big diamond ring
(For the sweetness of your love)
`Cause Ooo baby, I`d do anything
(For the sweetness of your lovin`)
`Cause you`re so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet

And I`d go 10 rounds with Sugar Ray
(For the sweetness of your love)
And I`d eat my Wheaties everday
(For the sweetness of your love)
BANG! ZOOM! And he would fly away
(For the sweetness of your lovin`)
Well Well Yeah Yeah

You could be lost in danger with a stranger
Caught up in mystery
A one night insanity, girl
And quite an emotional tragedy it would be
Then I`d come running just to save you
I`d be your hero guy
In a flash, in a minute I`d be there in no time
And you`d be forever loving me

Repeat Chorus

Sweet, sweet (Sweet, sweet)
(For the sweetness of your love)
And I`d say Ooo wee
(Ooo wee, for the sweetness of your love)
And I`d be what you want me to be
(For the sweetness of your lovin`)
`Cause you`re so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet

Say Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
(For the sweetness of your love)
And I`d go anywhere
(Anywhere, for the sweetness of your love)
And I`d call you up when I got there
(For the sweetness of your lovin`)
Yeah Yeah Yeah
(Sweet, sweet for the sweetness of your love)
Ooo wee (Ooo wee, for the sweetness of your love)

I`d be what you want me to be
(For the sweetness of your lovin`)
Well, Well (Well, Well)
Say Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
(For the sweetness of your love)
I`d follow you anywhere
(Anywhere, for the sweetness of your love)
And I`d call you up when I got there
(For the sweetness of your lovin`)
(Sweet, Sweet, for the sweetness of your love)
(Ooo wee for the sweetness of your love)
And I`d even wrestle Mister T
(For the sweetness of your lovin`)
Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
