Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sweet life, it just can't be paradise
But if you think it's alright
Ooh, baby, we could be sweet lovers in the night
I'd be faithful and I would treat you nice
Ooh, baby, we could be sweet lovers in the night
If you think I might
Be someone you would like
What if you were my lover?
[Verse 2]
I could spend my lifetime holding on to you, my lover
I could spend forever holding on to you
Spend my every nighttime holding on to you, my lover
Till the end of never, holding on to you
[Verse 3]
Sweet life, it just can't be paradise
But we can make it quite nice
Ooh, baby, we could be sweet lovers in the night
If you think I might
Be someone you could like
We could be sweet lovers in the night
I'd be faithful and I would treat you nice (Oh, would you treat me nice?)
What if you were my lover?
[Verse 4]
I could spend my lifetime holding on to you, my lover
I could spend forever holding on to you, my lover
Spend my every nighttime holding on to you, my lover
Till the end of never, holding on to you
