,
I'm going back to my sweet thing
I must have met a
hundred guys or more
who talked of furs and gold
I heard a lot of stories
but they've all been told
But I'm goin' back,
goin' back to my sweet thing
I dine with dukes and earls,
I made the New York scene
I dance with presidents
and all the movie kings
I wanna see that man,
I guess I've had my fling
I'm goin' back,
I'm goin' back to my sweet thing
I'm goin' back,
goin' back to my sweet thing
He told me just before I went away
that I would never stay
An d I come a -runnin'
back to him someday
I'm goin' back,
goin' back to my sweet thing
He's got a beat -up shack
across the railroad track
A brand -new hi -fi set,
the latest clothes on his back
I was a fool to leave and
now I'm goin' back
I'm goin' back,
goin' back to my sweet thing
I never knew that I could be so blind
But everything is gonna work out fine
I'm going back,
going back to my sweet thing
He made a call to me by telephone
He was so all alone
He said now sugar baby
won't you hurry home
I'm going back,
going back to my sweet thing
I'm going back so I can
put my soul at ease
I'm gonna treat him right
I'm gonna aim to please
I'm gonna love that man
With every breath I breathe
I'm goin' back
Oh, I'm goin' back
Goin' back to my sweet thing
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm goin' back
Goin' back
Goin' back to my sweet thing
Oh, oh, you
