[Intro]
Oh
Yeah
Okay, uh
The sweetest
Oh my my
[Verse 1]
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
Ooh, baby, just to hear you speak
Makes me argue just to see
How much you're in love with me
[Chorus]
See like the queen, queen upon her throne
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known, oh
Yes, it was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known, oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
I get mad when you walk away, girl
So I tеll you to leave when I mеan stay
Warm as the sun dipped in black
Fingertips on the small of your back
So valuable than all I own
Like your precious, precious, precious, precious, baby, dark skin tone, yeah
[Chorus]
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known, oh, ayy
[Post-Chorus]
I, yeah, I tried to explain
I, yeah, but baby, it's in vain
[Verse 3]
Speaking on my mother's phone
The touching makes me think I'm grown
Sweet princess of the ghetto, oh
Your kisses taste like Amaretto
Intoxicating (Intoxicating)
Oh, so intoxicating (Intoxicating)
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end
[Chorus]
But then again, I'm not alone
Yeah, it was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known, oh
Yes, it was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known, yeah
Here we go, uh
[Post-Chorus]
I, yeah, I sometimes watch you in your sleep, ooh yeah
I, yeah, excuse me if I get too deep, ooh, yeah
