[Verse 1]
Dm                                    D#m Cm
The sweetest thing I've ever known
                                        Cm C#m Dm
Was like a kiss on the collarbone
                               Dm D#m Cm
Soft caress of happiness
                                                 Cm C#m Dm
The way you walk, your style of dress
                                        Dm D#m Cm
I wish I didn't get so weak
                                          Cm C#m Dm
Ooo, baby, just to hear you speak
                                        Dm D#m Cm
Makes me argue just to see
                                              Cm
How much you're in love with me

[Chorus 1]
                  D#         Dm Cm                       C#m
See, like a queen, a queen upon her throne
              Dm                           C#m Cm             C#m
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
                 Dm                                    C#m Cm C#m
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know

[Verse 2]
Dm                                    D#m Cm
I get mad when you walk away
                                                    Cm C#m Dm
So I tell you "Leave", when I mean "Stay"
                                        Dm D#m Cm
Warm as the sun dipped in black
                                              Cm C#m Dm
Fingertips on the small of my back
                            Dm          D#m Cm C#m
More valuable than all I own
 Dm                                                                     D#m Cm C#m
Like your precious, precious, precious, precious, precious dark skin tone

Speaking on my mother's phone
                                                    Cm C#m Dm
The touching makes me think I'm grown
                                   Dm D#m Cm
Sweet prince of the ghetto
                                           Cm C#m Dm
Your kisses taste like amaretto
                  Dm D#m Cm C#m
Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating
Dm                                     D#m Cm
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end

[Chorus 2]
                 D# Dm          Cm C#m
But then again, I'm, I'm not alone
