The Makings of You

[Verse 1]
Add a little sugar, honeysuckle and
A great, big expression of happiness
Boy, you couldn’t miss with a 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

[Chorus]
The righteous way to go
Little one would know
Or believe if I told them so
You're second to none

[Verse 2]
The love of all mankind
Should reflect some sign
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you

[Chorus]
The righteous way to go
Little one would know
Or believe if I told them so
You're second to none

[Verse 2]
The love of all mankind
Should reflect some sign
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you
