My baby whispers in my ear, mm, sweet nothin's. (Pth-pth-pth-pth, a-a-a-) He knows the things I like to hear, mm, sweet nothin's. (Pth-pth-pth-pth, a-a-a-a-a)
Things he wouldn't tell nobody else (ooh-uh) - Secret, baby, I keep 'em to myself - Sweet nothin's, mm, sweet nothin's (uh-ooh-ooh-).

Sitting in class or trying to read my book (ooh-uh) - My baby give me that special look! - Sweet nothin's, mm, sweet nothings (uh-ooh-ooh-).
