Lyrics for Brown Sugar

Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields Sold in the market down in New Orleans Skydog slaver know he's doin' all right Hear him whip the women, just around midnight Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good? Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should, oh no Drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop House boy knows that he's doin' all right You should have heard him, just around midnight Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good? Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should, yeah Brown Sugar, how come you dance so good? Oh, got me quittin' Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should, yeah Now, I bet your mama was a tent show queen And all her boyfriends were sweet 16 I'm no school boy but I know what I like You should have heard them, just around midnight Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good? Oh, no no Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo How come you, how come you dance so good? Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo Just like a, just like a black girl should Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
