THE SWEETEST THING
Lauryn Hill 
   

The sweetest thing I've ever known 
Was like a 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, ohh 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:
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known
It was the sweet, sweet
The sweetest thing I've known

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 all small on my back
More valuable than all I own
Like your precious, precious, precious
Precious dark skin tone.

CHORUS:
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known
It was the sweet, sweet
The sweetest thing I've known

Speaking on my mother's phone
The touching makes me think I'm grown (you ain't grown)
Sweet prince of the ghetto
Your kiss it tastes like amoretto
Intoxicating, intoxicating, oohh, so intoxicating
How sad, (it's so sad), that all things come to an end
But, then again, I'm not alone

CHORUS:
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known
It was the sweet, sweet
The sweetest thing I've known
