Verse 1:

When I picked you up for out first date baby,
With your pretty blue eyes,
That were driven' my crazy,
And that tiny little thought,
That was so amazing,
As they were looking at me,
I held open the car for you,
Then you climbed inside and slid on over,
To the other side,
I thought my, oh my,

Chorus:

Sweet Thing,
The moon is high,
And the night is young,
Come on and meet me,
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree,
It's a good thing,
Am I wishin,
Come on Sweet Thing,
Won't you climb on out of your window,
While the world is sleeping,
Cause you know I need you,
And there is no way I am leavin',
Til' we're kissing on the porch swing,
Oh my little Sweet Thing,

Verse 2:

Ya I know I am going to see you first thing tomorrow,
But I just couldn't wait,
So I had to borrow,
Uncle Jake's mustang,
It's his favorite car,
And so I can't stay long,
Standin' here feeling like a love struck Romeo,
All I want to do is hold you close,
And steal a little more time,
Is that such a crime?

(Chorus)

Oh my Sweet Thing,
Sweet Thing,
Sweet Thing,
Sweet Thing,

Oh my Sweet Thing,
The moon is high,
And the night is young,
Come on and meet me,
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree,
It's a good thing,
And tell me I'm not dreamin',

Oh Sweet Thing,
Won't you climb out of your window,
While the world is sleepin',
Cause you know I need you,
And theres no way,
I'll be leavin',
Til' we're kissing on the porch swing,
Oh my Sweet Thing,
Whooh!
Eeeeehh..uhh uhh,
Oh come on Sweet Thing,
Sweet Thing,
Sweet Thing,
Sweet Thing,

Yeah,come on now,
A little now,
Do..Do..Do..Doo..Do..Do..Do..Do..Do..Do..
