Brown sugar

Sold in a market down in New Orleans.

Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright.

Hear him whip the women just around midnight.

Ah Brown Sugar how come you taste so good

(A-ha) Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should

A-huh.

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot,

Lady of the house wond'rin' where it's gonna stop.

House boy knows that he's doin' alright.

You should a heard him just around midnight.

Ah Brown Sugar how come you taste so good

(A-ha) Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should

A-huh.

I bet your mama was a tent show queen, and all her boy

Friends were sweet sixteen.

I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like,

You should have heard me just around midnight.

Ah Brown Sugar how come you taste so good

(A-ha) Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should.

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said

Oh just like a, just like a black girl should.

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said

Oh just like, just like a black girl should.
