When I picked you up for our first date baby Well, your pretty blue eyes, they were drivin' me crazy And the tiny little thought that was so amazing Is they were looking at me. I held open the car door for you then you climbed Inside and slid on over To the other side, I thought my, oh my Sweet thing The moon is high and the night is young Come on and meet me In the backyard under the Cottonwood tree It's a good thing and I'm wishing C'mon sweet thing Won't you climb on out of your window While the world is sleeping You know I need you And there's no way I'll be leaving 'Till we're kissing on the porch swing Oh my little sweet thing Yeah I know I'm gonna see you first thing tomorrow But I just couldn't wait so I had to borrow Uncle Jake's Mustang, its his favorite car And so I can't stay long Standing here feeling like a love struck Romeo All I wanna do is hold you close and steal a little More time, is that such a crime? Sweet thing The moon is high and the night is young Come on and meet me In the backyard under the Cottonwood tree It's a good thing and I'm wishing C'mon sweet thing Won't you climb on out of your window While the world is sleeping You know I need you And there's no way I'll be leaving 'Till we're kissing on the porch swing Oh my little sweet thing Oh my sweet thing Sweet thing, sweet thing Oh my sweet thing The moon is high and the night is young Come on and meet me In the backyard under the cottonwood tree It's a good thing and tell me I'm not dreaming C'mon sweet thing Won't you climb on out of your window While the world is sleeping Cause you know I need you And there's no way I'll be leaving 'Till we're kissing on the porch swing Oh my little sweet thing Oh c'mon sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing Yeah, c'mon now a little now Do do do do do do do do do do do Oh my little sweet thing, yes you are Do do do do do do do do do do do
