Uh, uh
The unexpected
Multi-dimensional
Unexpected sound of the Refugee All-Stars
Yeah

The sweetest thing I've ever known
Was like the kiss on a 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 throne
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, come on 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

It was the sweet, sweet, the sweetest thing I've known
Was the sweet the-

Ah
I tried to explain
(I can't explain it, I can't explain it)
Ah, but, baby, it's in vain, oh

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 amaretto
Intoxicating (intoxicating)
Oh, so intoxicating (intoxicating)
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end, huh

But then again, I'm, I'm not alone
It was the sweet, sweetest thing I've known
It was the sweet, the sweetest thing I've known

I sometimes watch you in your sleep
Ah
Excuse me if I get too deep
Hey
Was the sweet, sweetest thing I've known
