Let me tell you 'bout this girl, maybe I shouldn't I met her in Philly and her name was Brown Sugar See, we be making love constantly That's why my eyes are a shade blood burgundy The way that we kiss is unlike any other way That I be kissin' when I'm kissin' what I'm missin' Won't you listen? [Chorus] Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love I don't know how to behave I want some of your Brown Sugar Sugar [Repeat: x4] Oh oh Oh sugar when you're close to me You love me right down to my knees And whenever you let me hit it Sweet like the honey when it comes to me Skin is caramel with those cocoa eyes Even got a big sister by the name of Chocolate Thai [Chorus] Now that'd be how the story goes Brown Sugar got me open, now I want some more Always down for a menage-a-troi But I think I'm a hit it solo Hope my niggaz don't mind Stick out my tongue and I'm bout ready to hit this pretty gritty bitty with persistence Yo, I don't think ya'll hear me [Chorus]
