Brown Sugar Lyrics By The Rolling Stones

    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

    brown sugar how come you taste so good uh huh
    brown sugar just like a young girl should uh huh oh woo

    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

    brown sugar how come you taste so good now
    brown sugar just like a young girl should now yeah

    ah get on brown sugar how come you taste so good
    ah got me craving the the brown sugar
    just like a black girl should yeah

    ah and i 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

    brown sugar how come you taste so good baby
    ah come down brown sugar
    just like a young girl should yeah

    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
