Lyrics

[Intro] The unexpected Multi-dimensional Unexpected sound of the Refugee All-Stars [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 a queen, a queen upon her throne It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known [Verse 2] I get mad when you walk away (Don't walk away from me, c'mon now) 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 [Chorus] It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known It was the... [Bridge] Ah I tried to explain Ah...but baby, it's in vain [Verse 3] Speaking on my mother's phone The touching makes me think I'm grown (You ain't grown) Sweet prince of the ghetto (Sweet prince of the ghetto) Your kisses taste like Amaretto Intoxicating (Intoxicating) Oh, so intoxicating (Intoxicating) How sad (So sad), how sad that all things come to an end [Chorus] But then again (Again), I'm, I'm not alone It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known [Outro] Ah I sometimes watch you in your sleep Ah Excuse me if I get to deep (Ha)
