Sweetest Thing是寫給他老婆Ali Hewson的情歌,目的是為了要道歉,因為他忘了她的生日。MV中出現的「I'm sorry.」、「I'm really sorry.」、「I'm really really sorry.」就是為了要向她道歉,Ali Hewson本人也在MV中出現。Sweetest Thing的版稅則捐給Ali鐘愛的慈善機構Chernobyl Children's Project International。
Sweetest Thing收錄在U218 Singles和The Best of 1980-1990:
Sweetest Thing的歌詞:
My love, she throws me like a rubber ball
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
But she won't catch me or break my fall.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this, I'm a raincloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
I'm losin' you, I'm losin' you
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
I wanted to run, but she made me crawl
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
I know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
I guess it's a blind kind of love.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
I'm losin' you, I'm losin' you
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
You can sew it up, but you still see the tear.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this, I'm a rain-cloud,
Ours is a stormy kind of love.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
