Curtis MayfieldThe Makings of You

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 these words I'm trying to recite
they're close, but not quite
almost impossible to do
reciting the makings of you
the righteous way to go
little one would know
or believe if I told them so
you're second to none
the love of all mankind should reflect some sign
of these words I'm trying to recite
they're close, but not quite
almost impossible to do
reciting the makings of you
