Sure enough, sweet thing
I reached a turning point in my life
I reached a turning point, Lord, Lord, Lord, in my life
I used to stay out all night long
Used to do a whole lot of wrong
And I don't know where I would've ended up
If that sweet thing hadn't come along
If that sweet thing hadn't come along
No more running away from me
You'll find me settling down
I reached a turning point in my life
I reached a turning point, Lord, Lord, Lord, in my life
I met a girl, she's one out of a hundred and ten
And she don't get excited, no, no, no
About you straight-talking men
She's weird around the house, neat as a pin
If I got a hole in my socks, got a hole in my shades
Sweet thing, she'll mend
No more staying out late for me
No more narrow escapes
I reached a turning point in my life
I reached a turning point, Lord, Lord, Lord, in my life
Come on, fellas, do it one time, let me hear you
Yeah, sure enough
Sweet thing, oh, I love you
No more running around for me
You'll find me settling down
I reached a turning point in my life
I reached a turning point, Lord, Lord, Lord, in my life
And I don't know where I would've ended up
If that sweet thing hadn't come along
If that sweet thing hadn't come along
I might have been on 26th and California somewhere on Skid Row
Hey, hey, yeah, baby
Get on down, get on down, get on down, get on down
Get on down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, hey
Can y'all feel it?
Nothin' but a groove
I wonder, can I get a copy on that drummer, man
(You got a copy of it)
ย
I wonder, can I get a copy on that drummer, man
(You got a copy of it)
Well, looka here, guy
You know, this is the Wise Fool, don't you know
(Oh yeah)
Yeah, it's me
And there's a whole lot always happening up in here
You got a beautiful audience
Now, when will you come on up and tell 'em
About the turning point into your life?
ย
I wonder, will you ease on up in there
And tell 'em about the turning point into your life?
(Oh yeah, man)
Yeah, well, looka here, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, Jack
I'm gonna move on to the sideline
And let you ease on up in here
Copy that? You copy that?
(Oh yeah)
Shh
ย
I used to stay out all night long
I used to do a whole lot of wrong
And I don't know where I would've ended
If that sweet thing hadn't come along
Said, if that sweet thing hadn't come along
I reached a turning point, Lord, Lord, Lord, in my life
I reached a turning point, Lord, Lord, Lord, in my life
ย
Hey, yeah
ย
Hey, yeah
Get on down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Give it up for my album, applaud y'all, sock it to me
ย
Say, looka here, Will
Yeah, man?
Hey, I don't believe you'll do it again, man
I'll do it again, man
I don't believe you'll do it again
I will do it again
I don't believe you'll do it again
Guess what, Jim?
What?
I'll do it deeper
You'll do it what?
I'll do it deeper
Deeper?
Yeah, deeper
Okay, deeper, you got it, I'm gone
ย
I used to steal and make love
I used to do a whole lot of drugs
But I sure know where I would end up
If that sweet thing had come along
Said, if that sweet thing had come along
I've reached a turning point, Lord, Lord, Lord
In my life
How 'bout that, Ed?
I've reached a turning point, Lord, Lord, Lord
In my life
ย
Come on down
ย
Come on down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Give 'em a hand of applause, the drummer man
ย
Baby, you've got me where you want me
Baby, you've got me where I wanna be
Lookie here, everybody, come on
I don't leave my Josephine outta nothin'
ย
Hey, what did you say?
Thank you very much
Alright
