Scared old slaver knows that hes doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

Brown Sugar
Just like a young girl should

House boy knows that hes doing alright
You should’a heard him just around midnight

Oh come on Brown Sugar

And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I’m no school boy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight
CHROUS FOUR
Brown Sugar

Oh Brown Sugar
Just like a young girl should Yeah
