Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin (Brown skin)
I can't tell where yours begins, I can't tell where mine ends
(Hey)
Brown skin, up against my brown skin (Brown skin)
Need some every now and then, oh, yeah
(Hey)
[Verse 2]
Where are your people from?
Maybe Mississippi or an island
Apparently your skin has been kissed by the sun
You make me want a Hershey's Kiss, your Licorice
[Verse 3]
Every time I see your lips
It makes me think of honey-coated chocolate
Your kisses are worth more than gold to me
I'll be your Almond Joy, you'll be my sugar daddy, hey
[Verse 4]
Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin (Brown skin)
I can't tell where yours begins, I can't tell where mine ends
(Hey)
Brown skin, up against my brown skin (Brown skin)
Need some every now and then, oh
(Hey)
[Verse 5]
Every time you come around
Somethin' magnetic pulls me and I can't get out
Disoriented, I can't tell my up from down
All I know is that I wanna lay you down
[Verse 6]
Every time I let you in
Abracadabra, magic happens as we swim
Higher and higher, finally we reach Heaven
Come back to Earth and then we do it all again, yeah
[Verse 7]
Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin (Brown skin)
I can't tell where yours begins, I can't tell where mine ends
(Hey)
Brown skin, up against my brown skin (Brown skin)
Need some every now and then, oh, yeah
(Hey)
[Verse 8]
Skin so brown, lips so round, baby, how can I be down?
Beautiful Mahogany, you make me feel like a queen
(You make me feel like a queen)
Tell me what's that thing you do that makes me wanna get next to you
Yeah (Yeah)
[Verse 9]
Hey
[Verse 10]
Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin (Brown skin)
I can't tell where yours begins, I can't tell where mine ends
(Hey)
Brown skin, up against my brown skin (Brown skin)
Need some every now and then, every now and then
(Hey)
[Verse 11]
Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin (Brown skin)
I can't tell where yours begins, I can't tell where mine ends
(Hey)
Brown skin, up against my brown skin (Brown skin)
Need some every now and then, oh
(Hey) Oh
