Description
It all starts as a casual conversation - as if two old acquaintances met at a jazz bar and started reminiscing about “the good old days.” Only then does the music straighten your shoulders, and the air becomes thick as molasses. Your body sways on its own, as if it knows the rhythm in advance.
Every line is lazy pleasure, every breath is unhurried flirtation. Here, they don't rush to love, they just enjoy the moment: caramel light, slow chords, laughter in a glass of something amber. Everything sticks to the skin a little, leaving a trace - sweet, lively, so that you want to return to it again.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Let me tell you 'bout this girl, maybe I shouldn't
I met her in Philly and her name was Brown Sugar
See, we be making love constantly
That's why my eyes are a shade blood burgundy
The way that we kiss is unlike any other way
That I be kissing when I'm kissing what I'm missing
Won't you listen?
Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
Ooh ooh
Oh sugar when you're close to me
You love me right down to my knees
And whenever you let me hit it
Sweet like the honey when it comes to me
Skin is caramel with those cocoa eyes
Even got a big sister by the name of Chocolate Thai
Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
Ooh ooh
Now that'd be how the story goes
Brown Sugar got me open, now I want some more
Always down for a ménage à trois
But I think I'm a hit it solo
Hope my niggas don't mind
Stick out my tongue and I'm bout
Ready to hit this pretty gritty
Bitty with persistence
Yo, I don't think ya'll hear me
Brown Sugar babe, I gets high off your love
I don't know how to behave
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
Ooh ooh
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
I want some of your Brown Sugar (sugar)
