Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
[Chorus]
Brown sugar
How come you taste so good? Ah huh
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl should, ah huh now
[Verse 2]
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard 'em just around midnight
[Chorus]
Brown sugar
How come you taste so good now?
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl should now, yeah
[Chorus]
Ah, get on, brown sugar
How come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, got me feelin' right, now, brown sugar
Just like a black girl should, yeah
[Verse 3]
Now, now, bet your mama was a tent-show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy, but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight
[Chorus]
Brown sugar
How come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, my, my
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl should, yeah, baby
[Outro]
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
How come you
How come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
Just like a
Just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
