The Makings Of You Lyrics - Curtis - Curtis Mayfield

Add a little sugar, honeysuckle 

And a great big expression of happiness 

Boy, you couldn't miss 

With a dozen roses 

Such will 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 

Or 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 

Or 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
