The Sweetest Thing (feat. Lauryn Hill) (From the New Line Cinema film "Love Jones")

Uh, uh
The unexpected
Multidimensional
I'm a listener unexpected sound of the Refugee All-Stars
(Oh ooh, ooh oh) yeah

The sweetest thing I've ever known
Was like a kiss on the collarbone
The soft caress of happiness
The way you walk
Your style of dress
I wish I didn't get so weak
Oh, oh, ooh 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

It was the sweet
Sweet
Sweetest thing I've known
It was the sweet
Sweet
Sweetest thing I've known

I get mad when you walk away (don't walk away from me)
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, precious, precious, precious
Baby dark skin tone

It was the sweet
Sweet
The sweetest thing I've known
Was the
I, I try to explain (I can't explain it, I can't explain it)

I but baby it's in vain, oh oh oh
Speaking on my mother's phone
The touch that makes me think I'm grown (you ain't grown)
Sweet prince of the ghetto (ha, sweet prince of the ghetto, yeah)
Your kisses taste like amaretto

Intoxicating (intoxicating)
Oh, so intoxicating (intoxicating)
How sad (it's so sad)
How sad (it's so sad)
That all things come to an end, uh

But then again
Again
I'm, I'm not alone
It was the sweet
Sweetest thing I've known
It was the sweet
Sweetest thing I've known (sweetest thing)

I sometimes watch you in your sleep (on that chair)
I excuse me if I get too deep (nah, I mean)
It was the sweet (sweet)
Sweetest thing I know, yeah
