Sweetest Thing [Mahogany Mix][*]

Let me be patient
Let me be kind
Make me unselfish, without being blind
Though I may suffer, I'll envy it not
And endure what comes, cos he's all that I got and tell him

Chorus
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be all right
And tell him
tell him I need him
tell him I love him
It'll be all right

Now I may have faith
To make mountains fall
But if I lack love, then I am nothing at all
I can give away
Every thing I possess
But i'm without love
And I have no happiness
I know i'm imperfect, but not without sin
But now that i'm older
Oh childish thinking is tell him

Chorus

I'll never be jealous
And I won't be too proud
Cos' love is not boastful
Oh, and love is not loud
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And evertything is gonna, is gonna be alright right

Now I may have wisdom
And knowledge on earth
But if I speak wrong
Oh, then what is it worth
See what we now know
Is nothing compared
To the love that was shown
When our lives were spared and tell him

Chorus

It'll be alright
tell him, that I need him
It'll be alright
When the evening come
In the night time
In the morning
In the evening baby

Sweetest Thing

The sweetest thing I've ever known
Was like the kiss on the collarbone
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
Makes me argue just to see
How much you're in love with me
See, like a queen, a queen upon her throne
Chorus

Chorus
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know,
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know

I get mad when you walk away (don't walk away)
So I tell you leave, when I mean stay
Warm as the sun dipped in black

Fingertips on the small of my back
More valuable than all I own
Like your precious, precious, precious, precious dark skin tone
Chorus

It was the...Ah
I tried to explain
Ah...but baby, it's in vain

Speaking on my mother's phone
The touch that makes me think I'm grown, (you ain't grown)
Sweet prince of the ghetto
Your kisses taste like amaretto
Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end
But then again, I'm, I'm not alone
Chorus

Ah...Sometimes watch you in your sleep
Ah... Excuse me if I get to deep (Ha)
Fading Chorus
