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
