Curtis Mayfield — The Makings Of You lyrics

Lyrics

A little sugar, honey suckle lamb
Great expression of happiness
Boy, you could not miss
With a dozen roses
Such would astound you
The joy of children laughing around you
These are the makings of you
It is true, the makings of you, oh It’s been a miracle for what you’ve done
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one for the righteous way to go Anyone would know
I believe, I thought, I told you so You’re second to none
Love of all mankind
Should reflect some sign
Of the words I’m trying to recite
They’re close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do Describing the makings of you
