I thought there was a sweeter taste,
but now I pray it's not too late
because I've found no happiness
and in my heart there's an empty space
that waits and waits,
for your sweet love, girl
for your sweet love

I'd eaten off the apple tree
But I was blind and couldn't see,
now I've wandered far and wide
and still no peace I find,
I'm yearning
my heart is burning,
for your sweet love

It's too late now baby
there won't be nobody new
I'm comin' home now sugar
straight on home to you

to your sweet love
to your sweet love
