Lynyrd Skynyrd Sweet Little Missy song lyrics

(Ronnie VanZant -- Gary Rossington)

Why are you praying, my sweet morning dove

You're so afraid, but so hungry for love

Well I can give you love baby

Hugs and kisses, I can give you everything that you been missing

Just don't be afraid, oh

Sweet little missy

She's twenty years old and a full grown woman

Sure enough

I'm the one that wants her

Are you ready for love

Well I'm the one that wants you forever and a day

Come on baby, what'd you say

Just don't be afraid, oh

Sweet little missy

Sweet little missy

She's saving her love

But givin' us hope like the Lord up above

This ain't the worst thing she'll ever do

'Cause like a dollar bill you can't take it with you

Well I'm the one that wants you forever and a day

Come on baby, what'd you say

Just don't be afraid, oh

Sweet little missy

She's so damn pretty, I can't take it no more

You and me babe, giving my soul for sure

Well I can give you love baby

Hugs and kisses, I can give you everything that you been missing

Just don't be afraid, oh

Sweet little missy

Sweet little missy

She's saving her love

But givin' us hope like the Lord up above

This ain't the worst thing you'll ever do

'Cause like a dollar bill you can't take it with you
