Sweet Tooth

Raheem Devaughn · The Love Experience [2005]

Don't know where you've been

but I'm glad they let you in

meet the band and all my friends

introduce them to your friends

How did you like the show?

I spotted you in third row

I thought I'd let you know

(you're banging)

I recognize a girl with class

Bartender, fill her glass

I wanna watch her shake her

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la



forewarn you if I could

right now you look so good

right now I wish you would

let me unwrap you baby

cuz I've got a thing for chocolates

I've got a thing for sweets

I might make you melt girl

the way you dance to the beat

forewarned



aw, girl, I've got a sweet tooth

for chocolates, for you, for sweets

the softness of your skin

like grandma's cookie batch

oh, I think I've met my match

you're gorgeous (look at you)

Don't usually brag or boast

but I'm getting awfully close

to your goody goody jar

to you in my car

to us riding out from here



Now that your throat is wet

there's elbow room to start

let's take full advantage

hey girl, don't you panic

I've got an A in Physics



I've warned you like I should

My God, you look so good

you got a lot of soul in your hips

the way you lean back

break me off a piece of that Kit Kat



I've got a thing for chocolates

I've got a thing for sweets

I might make you melt girl

the way you dance to the beat

Aw, girl

I've got a thing for chocolate

sweetness



Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat baby

Ooh, ahh, ahh, my Lord

I'm getting real, real close to your goody goody jar



sweet as you are

I've got a thing for chocolates

I've got a thing for sweets

I might make you melt girl

The way you dance to the beat



Let me in the cookie jar, baby

Let me in the cookie jar, baby
