Curtis Mayfield › Lyrics › The Makings of You

Add a little sugar, honey suckle lamb
A great big expression of happiness
Boy, you couldn't miss with the 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

The righteous way to go
Little one would know
I believe if I told them so
You're second to none
The love of all mankind

Should reflect some sign
Of these words I've tried 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
I believe if I told them so
You're second to none
The love of all mankind

Should reflect some sign
Of these words I've tried to recite
They're close but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you
