“brown sugar” (lyrics)

VERSE 1:

gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields…
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he’s doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

CHORUS:

brown sugar…
how come you taste so good?

brown sugar…
just like a young girl should

VERSE 2:

drums beating cold…English blood runs hot…
Lady of the house wonderin’ where it’s gonna stop
House boy knows that he’s doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight

CHORUS:

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now

Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, got me feelin’ now, brown sugar just like a black girl should

VERSE 3:

I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I’m no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight

CHORUS:

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should…
yeah!

OUTRO:

i said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
How come you… how come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a… just like a black girl should

yeah, yeah, yeah…woo!
