My love she throws me like a rubber ball        Oh the sweetest thing

But she won’t catch me or break my fall         Oh the sweetest thing

Baby’s got blue skies over head but in this I’m a rain cloud.

You know she likes a dry kind of love.     Oh the sweetest thing

Dm,  C,   G ,  G

I’m losing you,  yeahhhh heyyyy, I’m losing you, yeahhh

Ain’t love the sweetest thing. Ohh the sweetest thing. Ohh, yes

I wanted to run   she made me       crawl        Oh the sweetest thing

Eternal fire, she turned me to straw                Oh the sweetest thing

You know I got black eyes, but they burn so brightly for her

Mine is a blind kind of love.                     Oh the sweetest thing

[Chorus]

Blue eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl          Oh the sweetest thing

You can sew it up but you still see the tear    Oh the sweetest thing

Baby’s got blue skies over head and in this I’m a rain cloud.

You know we got a stormy kind of love.  Oh the sweetest thing
