Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
Add a little sugar
Honeysuckle and a great big expression of happiness
Boy, you couldn't miss with a dozen roses
Such would astound you, the joy of children laughing around you
These are the makings of you, it is true the makings of you
[Verse 3]
Ooh, I'm so lucky that you're all mine
Like a shooting star, we're in heaven and it feels right
Ooh, the things that you do that keeps me falling for you hard
Boy, let me tell you the truth, I'll always love you
[Verse 4]
(You've got that touch, that love, that's setting me on fire)
And I'll give you my life
(Give you my life)
Anything that you ask me
Baby, you can have it, yeah
(You've got that heart, that soul, you're perfect in my eyes)
You're the light of my life
Boy, I'm telling you I love everything you say and do
[Verse 5]
Honeysuckle and a great big expression of happiness
(Honey suckle and, ooh)
Boy, you couldn't miss with a dozen roses

Such would astound you, the joy of children laughing

A great big expression of happiness
