Woah, oh, oh

Sweet child of mine

Woah woah, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

[Instrumental Break]

Sweet child of mine

Sweet love of mine

Woah, oh, oh, oh

Sweet child of mine, ooh, yeah

Ooh

Sweet love of mine

Ooh, where do we go now? (Where do we go?)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, woah

Where do we go?

Oh-oh, where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Woah-oh, where do we go now?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Sweet child

Sweet child of mine
