there's nobody home
you're all by yourself
and all of the cookies
are still on the shelf
your momma's out
your dad's at the races
ad nothing can stop you
from filling your faces
i said oh, how you love...
the sweet things in life

if nobody's watching
you roll up a smoke
hope nobody hears you
in your room as you choke
you feel a bit dizzy
you don't know you're high now
it's just the beginning,
a piece of pie
i said oh, how you love...
the sweet things in life

and then you had memories
a child that's so bright
she used to make love
with her eyes open wide
feeling your fear
with something to taste
cuz that little girl
she left nothing to waste
i said oh, how you love
the sweet things in life
how you love... oh,
how you love the sweet things in life
oh, how you love
how you love
how you love the sweet things in life
oh, how you love love love love
the sweet things in life
