The touch that makes me think I'm grown
(You ain't grown)
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end
(Ha)
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
Ah, but baby, it's in vain
More valuable than all I own
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
See, like a queen, a queen upon her throne
It was the, ah, I tried to explain
Precious, precious dark skin tone
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
Soft caress of happiness
Fingertips on the small of my back
Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating
(Don't walk away)
I get mad when you walk away
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
I wish I didn't get so weak
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
But then again, I'm, I'm not alone
Ah, excuse me if I get to deep
Ooh baby, just to hear you speak
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
How much you're in love with me
Warm as the sun dipped in black
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
Makes me argue just to see
Speaking on my mother's phone
Sweet prince of the ghetto, your kisses taste like amaretto
Like your precious, precious
Ah, sometimes watch you in your sleep
So I tell you leave, when I mean stay
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
The way you walk, your style of dress
