Analysis of Sweet Little Red Thing



I'm his Daddy's Lady
His Mama's maybe
I'm the thunder in Your light
The fire inside the sky
Too firm to concern you with what's right
Please leave, no don't leave me
You're out of sight

Sweet Little Red Thing
Why you so cold
I thought you were hot or not
Don't complain
I thought you were a Thot
No I mean someone I sought
Sike

Sweet Little Red Thing
Call me Dirty Diana
'Cause when I finish
You Gon' Need Looking After
Hahaha... Lalala... Bye Bye Bye

Sincerely, Sweet Little Red Thing
