For the Sweetness of Your Love Lyrics by Luther Vandross

Busy Body

1983

[Verse 1]
What's your name?
Girl, what's your number?
I think I fell in love the first time I ever saw ya
And I couldn't get you off my mind, hey hey
You reminded me of candy
So you be my Mary Jane, and I'll be your Sugar Daddy
And we can make sweet love all the time
Oh girl
[Chorus]
I'd travel to the farthest star
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
You're so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
Much sweeter than the sugar in a candy bar
(Is the sweetness of your love)
Hey, talkin' 'bout ooh ooh (ooh ooh)
And my rocket would only stop
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
Well, well (Well, well) Hey
All I ever think about
(Is the sweetness of your love)
What ya say
(Say yeah yeah) Yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
You call for it, I'll deliver
I'll bring you anything
So fast it'll make you shiver
Whatever it is, from A to Z, hey hey
Let me prove that I can love ya
I'll do a dance for you
Anything that I can to get a chance to love you
Of whomever you dream, I wanna be
Ooh wee, ooh
[Chorus]
I'd travel to the farthest star
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
You're so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
Much sweeter than the sugar in a candy bar
(Is the sweetness of your love)
Yeah yeah (Yeah yeah) yeah yeah
My rocket would only stop
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
Yeah, I say ooh ooh (Ooh ooh)
And all I ever think about
(Is the sweetness of your love)
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
Carry on...
Oh, I'd take my money out the bank
(For the sweetness of your love)
And I'd buy you a great big diamond ring
(For the sweetness of your love)
'Cause ooh baby, I'd do anything
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
'Cause you're so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
And I'd go 10 rounds with Sugar Ray
(For the sweetness of your love)
And I'd eat my Wheaties every day
(For the sweetness of your love)
BANG! ZOOM! And he would fly away
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
Yeah, well, yeah (Say yeah yeah) yeah
You could be lost in danger with a stranger
Caught up in mystery
A one night insanity, girl
And quite an emotional tragedy it would be
Oh, then I'd come running just to save you
I'd be your hero guy
In a flash, in a minute I'd be there in no time
And you'd be forever loving me, oh oh girl
[Chorus]
I'd travel to the farthest star
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
You're so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweeter than the sugar in a candy bar
(Is the sweetness of your love)
Well well (Well well) well well
And my rocket would only stop
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
Said I say ooh ooh (Ooh ooh)
And all I'd ever think about
(Is the sweetness of your love)
Yeah (Yeah yeah) yeah yeah
[Outro]
Sweet, sweet (Sweet, sweet)
(For the sweetness of your love)
And I'd say ooh wee
(Ooh wee, for the sweetness of your love)
And I'd be what you want me to be
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
'Cause you're so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
Say yeah yeah (Yeah yeah)
(For the sweetness of your love)
And I'd go anywhere
(Anywhere, for the sweetness of your love)
And I'd call you up when I got there
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
Yeah yeah yeah (Ooh ooh) ooh ooh ooh
(Sweet, sweet for the sweetness of your love)
Ooh wee (Ooh wee, for the sweetness of your love)
Oh, I'd be what you want me to be
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
Well well (Well well)
I say yeah yeah (Yeah yeah)
(For the sweetness of your love)
I'd follow you anywhere
(Anywhere, for the sweetness of your love)
And I'd call you up when I got there
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
(Sweet, sweet, for the sweetness of your love)
(Ooh wee for the sweetness of your love)
And I'd even wrestle Mr. T
(For the sweetness of your lovin')
Yeah yeah (Yeah yeah) yeah
(Yeah yeah, for the sweetness of your love)
I'd go anywhere
(Anywhere for the sweetness of your love)
