Sweet Darlin’ Lyrics By Martha Reeves The Vandellas

    hmm hmmmmmmmmm sweet darlin’
    hmm hmmmmmmmmm
    hmm hmmmmmmmmm
    hmm hmmmmmmmmm sweet darlin’

    you’re the brightest warm sunshine that fills my every day
    you’re the sweet soul music that sets my heart at play
    you’re the string around my mind that spins it like a top
    and such a good bad habit i just don’t want to stop

    you got my mind in a ball and chains
    your good love is driving me insane
    like a moth i can’t avoid the flames sweet darlin’
    i’d walk a mile just to see your face
    and you can in your embrace
    ’cause when you smile i’m a hopeless case sweet darlin’

    hmm hmmmmmmmmm hmmm hmmmmm sweet darlin’
    hmm hmmmmmmmmm sweet darlin’
    oh yes you are

    all my friend and neighbors just can’t believe it’s true
    they say you’re no good for me honey and i’m too good for you
    but if i ‘stand this understandin’ always will be thin
    ’cause they can’t see what you mean to me from the outside lookin’ in

    i’m gonna love you ’til the end of time
    with a love as strong as georgia pine
    and ain’t no bad talk is gonna change my mind sweet darlin’
    i’m like a needle in a stack of hay
    here i am and here i stay
    ’til milk runs out of the milky way sweet darlin’

    hmm hmmmmmmmmm oh yes you are
    hmm hmmmmmmmmm sweet darlin’ oh yes you are

    you’ve got my mind in a ball and chains
    your good love is driving me insane
    like a moth i can’t avoid the flames sweet darlin’
    i’d walk a mile just to see your face
    and you can in your embrace
    ’cause when you smile i’m a hopeless case sweet darlin’

    hmm hmmmmmmmmm sweet darlin’
    oh yes you are
    hmm hmmmmmmmmm sweet darlin’ oh yes you are
    hmm hmmmmmmmmm
