Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones 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? Uh huh

Brown sugar, just like a young girl should, uh huh, oh (Woo)

[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?

Ah, got me craving the, the brown sugar

Just like a black girl should, yeah

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Brown sugar, how come you taste so good, baby?

Ah, come down, brown sugar

Just like a young girl should, yeah

[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
