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
