Lauryn Hill - The Sweetest Thing (Mahogany Mix) lyrics

[Intro] Like a queen (like a queen, like a queen) A queen upon her throne It was the sweet (sweet) Sweetest thing I've known [Verse 1: Lauryn Hill] Uh, uh, uh The sweetest thing I've ever known (ha) Was like a kiss on the collar bone (no doubt) The soft caress of happiness The way you walk, your style of dress I wish I didn't get so weak Ooo baby, just to hear you speak (L-Boogie!) Makes me argue just to see How much you're in love with me [Chorus 1: Lauryn Hill] Was the sweet, sweet Sweetest thing I've known Oh, Mahogony, mahogony Oh, Mahogony L It was the sweet, sweet Sweetest thing I've known Oh, Mahogony, mahogony Oh, Mahogony L [Verse 2: Lauryn Hill] I get mad when you walk away So I tell you leave when I mean stay (stay) Warm as the sun dipped in black Fingertips on small of my back More valuable than all I own (new hit!) Like your precious, precious, precious baby dark skin tone (L-Boogie!) [Chorus 2: Lauryn Hill] It was the sweet, sweet Sweetest thing I've known Oh, Mahogony, mahogony Oh, Mahogony L It was the sweet, sweet Sweetest thing I've known Oh, Mahogony, mahogony Oh, Mahogony L (L-Boogie...here we go!) [Verse 3: Lauryn Hill] I met him on the subway in Brownsville, Medina God like Apollo, I follow like Athena Keener, cleaner, just a few misdemeanors Hit me in the heart, part profession-al cleaners [John Forté] Shorty dig, you wasn't from this side We did the slide And let me whip your ride L-Boogie had the flavor sized up a T Vocal was exquisite, and still love the street [Lauryn Hill] I shoulda seen her Like when Ike met Tina How you were shooken when I booked the arena Jakes had you locked up Fakes had us knocked up Snakes in the state could have anybody popped But we stayed in the struggle Prayed in the trouble While you on the street, I'm on tour, we make double [John Forté] I held the heat fine And you held mics divine With every cat singin' with you "one time!" You was the media's dish Locked [??] Callin' me your lil' Brownsville Swedish Fish [Lauryn Hill] More times than not It got hot tryin' to date you You know I never meant it when I told you I hate you [John Forté] And though durin' our turn Everyone tried to beat us I keep you in my heart, you was always the sweetest [Chorus 3: Lauryn Hill] Was the sweet, sweet Sweetest thing I've known Oh, Mahogony L Was the sweet Sweetest thing I've known Oh, Mahogony L Was the sweet, sweet Sweetest thing I've known Oh, Mahogony L Was the sweet Sweetest thing I've known Oh, Mahogony L [Outro: Lauryn Hill (] Was the sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet Oh Mahogony Sweet, sweet Sweetest thing I've known Oh, Mahogony, mahogony Oh, Mahogony L Oh, Mahogony, mahogony Oh, Mahogony L Oh, Mahogony, mahogony Oh, Mahogony L [Outro 2: Dirty Harry (Lauryn Hill)] Ayo, L-Boogie—what happened to Peace?
