==Overview==
"Sweet Love" is a reworking of the 1998 Rivers Cuomo demo "Cheap Love," originally written and demoed in 1998. Halestorm singer Lzzy Hale tweeted on June 23, 2011 that she had just written a song with Cuomo.@LZZYHALE "Me and @RiversCuomo we just wrote the most beautiful song! http://yfrog.com/h47ffscsj" Twitter 23 June 2011. https://twitter.com/LZZYHALE/status/84049949666451456 Halestorm released a video of themselves performing "Sweet Love" acoustically on July 28, 2014. On November 27, 2020, days after the release of Alone VI, Cuomo confirmed via Riverchat that the demo "Cheap Love" was later given to Halestorm, whereupon it was reworked as "Sweet Love". While Halestorm has never officially released "Sweet Love", the band has performed it live multiple times, and uploaded an acoustic performance of the song to YouTube on July 28, 2014, to commemorate the band receiving 1 million likes on Facebook.
Demo recordings by Cuomo were included on the digital compilation Alone X: The Red-Raditude-Hurley Years in 2020. One version initially included in the bundle but removed a few days later features lead vocals from an unidentified singer (most likely Hale) with the filename "Sweet Love for Kelly C.mp3". It is possible, though unconfirmed, that the song was offered to singer .

After rocking with my boys
After shaking all the hands
I'll be talking to the press
Signing people's chests
And hanging with the fans
After washing up my face
After lettin' down my hair
I'll be taking off my heels
Putting on my Chucks
And waiting for you there
'Cause I want the sweet love
To get me through
I want, I want sweet love
And I know that you're wanting it too
So give me the sweet love
To get me by
I want, I want sweet love 
Every night until I die
It's nice to have a special friend
Someone that I can call my own
Someone to keep me on the ground
When my world is spinning 'round
And to remind of my home
You're a scary-looking guy
Quick to jump into a fight
But when I have a bad day
You know just what to say
I'm so glad that you're mine
'Cause I want the sweet love
To get me through
I want, I want sweet love
And I know that you're wanting it too
So give me the sweet love
To get me by
I want, I want sweet love 
Every night until I die
Until I die
Till I die
Till I die
Give me the sweet love
To get me through
I want, I want sweet love
And I know that you're wanting it too
So give me the sweet love
To get me by
I want, I want sweet love 
Every night until I die
Till I die
Give me the sweet love
Till I die
Till I die

You're a hard headed girl
Never running from a fight
But when I've had a bad day
You know just what to say
I'm glad the you're mine
I want the sweet love

|-|'Alone VI'=
See the simple freedom in my eyes
See the perfect ??? for you and me
And all the time I tried to sympathize
I don't wanna learn what you cannot be
I want, I want cheap love
To get me through
I want, I want cheap love
And I know you want it too
Ain't got no money to spare
And I know you don't care
Cheap love to me
She won't do me like that
Cheap love to me
She won't do me like that
All the times I said you were the one
I saw the simple freedom in your eyes
All the time I thought you were the one
I see the simple freedom in your eyes
I want, I want sweet love
To get me through
I want, I want cheap love
And I know you want it too
Ain't got no money to spare
And I know you don't care
Sweet love to me
She won't do me like that
Sweet love to me
She won't do me like...</tabber>
