The sweetest thing I've ever known
|
Was like the kiss on the collarbone
|
The soft caress of happiness
|
The way you walk, your style of dress
|
I wish I didn't get so weak
|
Ooo, baby, just to hear you speak
|
Makes me argue just to see
|
How much you're in love with me
|
Sit, like a queen, a queen upon her throne
|
|
Chorus:
|
It was the sweet, sweetest thing I’ve known,
|
It was the sweet, sweetest thing I’ve known
|
|
I get mad when you walk away
|
So I tell you leave, when I mean stay
|
Warm as the sun dipped in black
|
Fingertips on the small of my back
|
More valuable than all I own
|
Like your precious, precious, precious, precious baby, dark skin tone
|
|
It was the sweet,the sweetest thing I’ve known
|
|
It was the...Ah
|
I try to explain
|
Ah...but baby, it's in vain
|
|
Speaking on my mother's phone
|
The touch that makes me think I'm grown
|
Sweet prince of the ghetto
|
Your kisses taste like amaretto
|
Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating
|
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end
|
But then again, I'm, I'm not alone
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Ah...Sometimes watch you in your sleep
|
Ah... Excuse me if I get too deep, hey!
|
Fading Chorus
