intro
Baby, baby, baby, hey, Western Union man, send me a telegraph

My love has taken a tumble, oh, but I'm still standing
You're such a natural, sing, that's what you are
You're such a natural, sing, that's what you are
pre-chorus
Say I wouldn't steer you wrong now baby
I wouldn't steer you wrong
I wouldn't steer you wrong

It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try, try, try, try
It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try, try, try, try
It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try, try, try, try
verse 2
Shake a bitty, didn't I come resisting this sight of wonder ?
Didn't I come insisting the higher decision ?
Didn't I come resisting this sight of wonder to your life ?
Didn't I come insisting the higher decision ?
Didn't I come resisting this sight of wonder to your life ?
pre-chorus
Say I wouldn't steer you wrong now baby
I wouldn't steer you wrong
I wouldn't steer you wrong
chorus
It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try, try, try, try
It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try, try, try, try
Sweet little mystery that makes me try, try, try, try, makes me try
It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try, it makes me try
It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try, try, try, try
Sweet little mystery that makes me try, try, try, try, makes me try
It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try, it makes me try
bridge
Oh, just think of the magic ooh-ooh, don't think it is tragic
Hey hey hey, just think of the magic, come on listen
My love has taken a tumble, my love has taken a tumble
My love has taken a tumble but I'm still standing
Hey hey hey, just think of the magic, come on listen
My love has taken a tumble, my love has taken a tumble
My love has taken a tumble but I'm still standing
(Guitar solo)

And if you only, only, only, only, only, only
Love me like you used to do
Love me like you used to do

It's just that sweet little mystery that makes me try, try, try, try
Come on listen, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Come on listen, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try

My love has taken a tumble, my love has taken a tumble.

About"Sweet Little Mystery" is the second single from Wet Wet Wet's debut album, Popped In Souled Out. It was released on 13 July 1987 and reached #5 in the UK charts.
In the video, recorded in Gambia, the lyrics in the second verse are Didn't I come to give you a sense of wonder / Didn't I come to lift this fiery vision. Van Morrison sued the band for copyright infringement, as the lyrics in the second verse were derived from his song "Sense Of Wonder", Morrison received an out of court settlement and a co-writers credit, along with John Martyn who also received a credit, as the chorus was based on his song, also called "Sweet Little Mystery". The lyrics in the second verse were changed to Didn't I come resisting this sight of wonder / Didn't I come insisting the higher decision for the single release.
Marti Pellow recorded his own version of the song for inclusion on his 2002 album Marti Pellow Sings the Hits of Wet Wet Wet & Smile.
