Sweetheart Lyrics

[Intro]
K-Mac, K-Mac

[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
Sweetheart, when the sunlight's on your face now
Hope that faith can have its way today
Sweetheart, it's like I'm drifting on a star
Know you're in a rush and my love's on the way-ay-ay-ay

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown, Chris Brown & Kevin McCall]
And I love that you are everything I want (Oh-oh)
And if you need anything from me, you can just ask me
'Cause your touch does something to me, baby (Oh-oh)
'Cause you're my greatest gift, I seal it with a kiss
And I just wanna tell you that you are...

[Chorus: Chris Brown]
A sweetheart is what you are (Girl, a sweetheart, sweetheart)
I said a, a sweetheart is what you are, you are wonderful
A sweetheart is what you are (Oh-na-na, oh-na-na)
Sweetheart, sweetheart

[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
If I could take all the girls around the world and put them in a room, oh-woah
None of them could compare to you, oh-woah
And I put together all the pieces
Only thing that's missing is you, yeah, is you, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown, Chris Brown & Kevin McCall]
And I love that you are everything I want (Oh-oh)
And if you need anything from me, you can just ask me
'Cause your touch does something to me, baby (Oh-oh)
'Cause you're my greatest gift, I seal it with a kiss
And I just wanna tell you that you are...

[Chorus: Chris Brown]
A sweetheart is what you are (Girl, a sweetheart, sweetheart, hey, hey, yeah)
I said a, a sweetheart is what you are, and you are wonderful
A sweetheart is what you are (Yeah, oh-na-na, oh-na-na)
Sweetheart, sweetheart

[Post-Chorus: Chris Brown]
Wind in your hair and the scent of your perfume, girl
Nothing compares to you, to you, babe
Found paradise, you look so good in my eyes
It's not a mirage right in front of me
You're not, you're not, you are the real thing

[Bridge: Chris Brown, Kevin McCall, Chris Brown & Kevin McCall]
Hands up (Hands up), for your love (For your love)
If you really, really love somebody, body
Hands up (Hands up), for your love (For your love)
If you really, really love somebody, body
I said put your hands up, for your love (Oh, oh)
If you really, really love somebody, body (Ayy)
And I can see there's more to what you are, girl
Baby, you are...
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
A sweetheart is what you are (Girl, a sweetheart, sweetheart)
I said a, a sweetheart is what you are, and you are wonderful
A sweetheart is what you are (Oh-na-na, oh-na-na)
Sweetheart, sweetheart

[Post-Chorus: Chris Brown]
Wind in your hair and the scent of your perfume, girl
Nothing compares to you, to you, babe
Found paradise, you look so good in my eyes
It's not a mirage right in front of me
You are the real thing
