Sweet Thing (Live 1998)

[Intro]
L.A., thank y'all for welcoming me one more time, y'all
Thank y'all so much
I'm getting ready to take y'all on a regular routine journey
We're gonna go from What's the 411? to My Life
Then we're gonna end up right here in Mary's World
Could we do that tonight, L.A.?
Now, I got one question for each and every one of you out there
I wonder if you can guess it:
How many of y'all out there tonight have a sweet thing tonight?

Alright, L.A., if y'all got a sweet thing out there tonight
Let me see y'all wave your hands from side to side, and sing this song
1, 2, 3, here we go

[Verse 1]
I will love you anyway (Say what?)
Even if you cannot stay
I think you are the one for me
Here is where you want to be
I just want to satisfy ya
'Cause you're not mine and I can't deny it
Don't you hear me talkin', baby
Love me now or I'll go crazy

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, sweet thing, yeah yeah
Don't ya know you're my everything
Whoa whoa, sweet thing, yeah
Don't ya know you're my everything
Yes, you are, yeah

Now ladies if y'all had one wish tonight
Y'all wish that brotha wasn't so shady, right?
Check it, but you don't wanna let him go

[Verse 2]
I wish you were my lover
But ya act so undercover
See, love ya child my whole life long
Is be right or be wrong
I'm only what you make me, baby
Don't walk away, don't be so shady
Don't want your mind, don't want your money
These words I say, they may sound funny but...

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, sweet thing, yeah yeah
Don't ya know you're my everything
Whoa whoa, sweet thing, oh yeah yeah yeah
Don't ya know you're my everything
Yes, you are
Yes, you are

Can y'all help me out tonight? L.A., come on

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, yeah yeah, oh oh ooh ooh
You are my heat, you are my fire
You make me weak with strong desire
Love 'ya child my whole life long
Is be right or be wrong (What you gonna do?)
I just want to satisfy ya
'Cause you're not mine, I can't deny it
Don't ya hear me talking, baby?
Love me now or I'll go crazy

You're my heat, you are my fire
See, you're my fire
You're not mine, I can't deny it
