The sweetest thing I've ever known

Was like the kiss on the collarbone

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

See, like a queen, a queen upon her throne

Chorus



Chorus

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know,

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know



I get mad when you walk away (don't 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 dark skin tone

Chorus



It was the...Ah

I tried to explain

Ah...but baby, it's in vain



Speaking on my mother's phone

The touching makes me think I'm grown, (you ain't grown)

Sweet prince of the ghetto

Your kisses taste like armoretto

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
