Sugar is sweet
But not as sweet as my baby
Honey's a treat
But it can't compete with my baby
'Cause they know I found
(Know I found) know I found
The sweetest thing this side of heaven
The sweetest thing this side of heaven
The sweetest thing this side of heaven
The sweetest thing this side of heaven
Blue skies are fair
But not as fair as my baby
Diamonds are rare
But they can't compare with my baby
If I lose her
I sure would lose a lot
So I try to please her
'Cause I know I got
(Know I got) know I got
The sweetest thing this side of heaven
The sweetest thing this side of heaven
The sweetest thing this side of heaven
Ooh, I love her so
Ooh, I'll never let her go
No one can steal
This love I feel for my baby
Others appeal
But they're not real like my baby
She's a lot like a miracle to me
And if she's not an angel
Then she's got to be
(Got to be) got to be
The sweetest thing this side of heaven
The sweetest thing this side of heaven
Honey's a treat
But it can't compete with my baby
Diamonds are rare
But they can't compare with my baby
The sweetest thing this side
