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
