Broken streets, dirty pavements Your pretty shoes are dancing in the rain Careful 'cross this ghetto wasteland Past the boys who sing You are the sweetest thing (you are the sweetest thing) You are the sweetest thing
In the subway they abuse you Hands that touch but hands that cannot feel Deep inside your private heaven Everyone knows You are the sweetest thing (you are the sweetest thing) You are the sweetest thing
Nature made you, nature bore you Somewhat different, different from the rest Feel this world of toil and trouble Laying heavy, so heavy on your breast So heavy on your breast
Racing, rushing through the darkness Find the light, the light that leads you home
