SWEET YOUNG THING

Writers: 

Gerry Goffin, Carole King, and Michael Nesmith

Lyrics: 

I know that something very strange
Just happened to my brain
I'm either feelin' very good
Or else I am insane
The seeds of doubt you've planted
Have started to grow wild
And I feel that I must yield
Before the wisdom of a child

And it's love you bring
No, that I can't deny
With your wings
I can learn to fly
Sweet young thing

People try to talk to me
Their words are ugly sounds
But I resist all their attempts
To try an' bring me down
Turned on to the sunset
Like I've never been before
I listen for your footsteps
And your knock upon the door

And it's love you bring
No, that I can't deny
With your wings
I can learn to fly
Sweet young thing

And it's love you bring
With dreams of bluer skies
Morning sings
When I see it in your eyes
Sweet young thing
Sweet young thing
