The sweetest thing I've ever known Was like a 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 Ooh 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 thrown It was the sweet Sweet Sweetest thing I've known It was the sweet Sweet Sweetest thing I've known I get mad when you walk away (Don't walk away from me) 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, precious Baby dark skin tone It was the sweet Sweet Sweetest thing I've known Was the I I try to explain I But baby it's in vain Speaking on my mother's phone The touch that makes me think I'm grown (You ain't grown) Sweet prince of the ghetto (Ha, sweet prince of the ghetto) Your kisses taste like armoretto Intoxicating (Intoxicating) Oh, so intoxicating (Intoxicating) How sad (It's so sad) How sad That all things come to an end But then again Again 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 yo sleep I Excuse me if I get too deep It was the sweet Sweetest thing
