Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're sweeter than the honey that the bees make
Soul sister, you're brown sugar
Sweeter than the icing on the best cake
Soul sister, you're brown sugar
[Verse 2]
I was in the dark but now I see
What was always in front of me
I was always proud but now I'm sayin' it loud
Keep on givin' it to me
[Verse 3]
Love and affection to the bone, to the bone
Soul sister, you're brown sugar
Keep on sockin' it to me all night long
Soul sister, you're brown sugar
[Verse 4]
Girl, you're always there with your man
It's 'bout time he took your hand
I wanna show you 'cause I can't stand the blow
Keep on givin' it to me
[Verse 5]
Somebody said what's in the dark
Will surely come to the light
Now your days are brighter and your burden's lighter
And the whole world knows you out of sight
[Verse 6]
Whoa, lord
[Verse 7]
Love and affection to the bone, to the bone
Soul sister, you're brown sugar
Keep on sockin' it to me all night long
Soul sister, you're brown sugar
[Verse 8]
Girl, you're always there with your man
It's 'bout time he took your hand
I wanna show you 'cause I can't stand the blow
Keep on givin' it to me
[Verse 9]
Keep on givin' me brown sugar
I got to have it
I just got to have brown sugar
You know what, baby
[Verse 10]
I can't help but more brown sugar
You're fine to the bone
Don't you know I need brown sugar?
Oh Lord, yeah
[Verse 11]
I just got to have brown sugar
You're sweeter than the icing on a cake
I just got to have brown sugar
I want to have it
Give me some of that
