We Could Be Sweet Lovers

Bill Withers

Sweet life, it just can't be paradise
But if you think it's alright
Ooh baby, we could be sweet lovers in the night
I'd be faithful and I would treat you nice
Ooh baby, we could be sweet lovers in the night
If you think I might
Be someone you could like
What if you were my lover?

I could spend my lifetime
Holding on to you, my lover
I could spend forever holding on to you
Spend my every nighttime
Holding on to you, my lover
'Til the end of never holding on to you

Sweet life, just can't be paradise
But we can make it quite nice
Ooh baby, we could be sweet lovers in the night
If you think I might
Be someone you could like
We could be sweet lovers in the night
I'd be faithful and I would treat you nice
(Oh won't you treat me nice?)
What if you were my lover?

I could spend my lifetime
Holding on to you, my lover
I could spend forever holding on to you, my lover
Spend my every nighttime
Holding on to you, my lover
'Til the end of never holding on to you
