The Sweetest Thing Lyrics - Lauryn Hill

The sweetest thing I`ve ever known 

Was like the kiss on the collarbone 

Soft caress of happiness 

The way you walk, your style of dress 

I wish I didn`t get so weak 

Ooo, 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 know, 

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know 

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 on the small of my back 

More valuable than all I own 

Like your precious, precious, precious, precious dark skin tone 

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know, 

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know 

It was the...Ah 

I tried to explain 

Ah...but baby, it`s in vain 

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 armoretto 

Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating 

How sad, how sad that all things come to an end 

But then again, I`m, I`m not alone 

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know, 

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
