The sweetest thing I've ever known

Was like the kiss on a collar bone

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 your in love with me



See, like a queen, a queen upon her throne

It was the sweet, 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 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

Was the



I..... I try to explain

(I can't explain it, I can't explain it)

I..... but baby it's in vain



Sneaking on my mother's phone

The touch that makes me think I'm grown

Sweet prince of the ghetto

Your kisses taste like Armaretto

Intoxicating (intoxicating), oohh, so intoxicating (intoxicating)

How sad, how sad that all things come to an end

But then again

I, I'm not alone



It was the sweet, sweetest thing I've known

It was the sweet, sweetest thing I've known



I..... sometimes watch you in your sleep

I..... excuse me if I get too deep

It was the sweet, sweetest thing I've known
