Sweet You

[Intro: Phonte, sample] What could be sweeter than you? "A-one, two, a-one, two..." "A-one, two, a-one, two..." "A-one, two, a-one, two..." "A-one, two, a-one, two..." Sweeter than you... "A-one, two, a-one, two..." "A-one, two, a-one, two..." "A-one, two, a-one, two..." What could be sweeter than you? [Verse: Phonte] Mic check, is this thing on? I ain't even know if I would rap or just sing on It took me awhile, but now I'm getting my swing on Icarus in increments, sometimes I put wings on Every hero ain't a hero 'til there's a theme song So many tries, but every time it just seemed wrong Saturday night, just kicking it with my best man Looked at my left hand, I got a ring on (Sweeter than you) Oh shit, how did we get here? Started with a kiss, then another kiss, then another kiss Then a covered dish, with white rice, greens, and smothered fish I'm lying – it was just chicken, niggas was thuggin' it Now we got a covenant – it's on, a bond for life In all my years, this was the easiest song to write It's my confession in a rhyme, a testament and I Just wanna do my thing, as I talk About a feeling that cannot be explained Or a love that cannot be contained In a measurement or time Some say it was a blessing in disguise Scratch that, girl, you a lesson from the skies And I thank God for my winnings, that's word to Lyfe Jennings Finally letting go of the mistakes of my twenties I admit that I am not an easy sell, but I'm the Petey to your Chiwetel Your big boy that tell them bitches "pay your beeper bill" My nigga, be for real, swore I wouldn't do it again My man said, "that'll change" First time is all about working through your baggage The second time around, it's all about the baggage claim Thank your maker, stack your paper With a real one, major key, clavinet Leave them other hoes on read, like clarinets Gorgeous, no wrongs in this love song I wrote for us Wedding play all day, with no chorus (It's yours!) – let's ride [Bridge: Dornik, (Phonte)] (What could be sweeter than you?) (This goes out to you...) Girl, it's you, it's you, and you're on my mind (One, two... this goes out to you... one more time... it's real, man... yea!) Girl, it's you, it's you, and you're on my mind (This goes out to you... yessir!) Girl, it's you, it's you, and you're on my mind (This goes out to you... yo... yo...) Girl, it's you, it's you, and you're on my mind (This goes out to you...) [Outro: Phonte] We did it We really did it, yanahmsayin'? It's official – washed life You and me, girl On the couch 2 pillows, 1 pillow case [Interlude: Dornik] Morning, is when you... (Morning... morning, is when you... is when you...) Morning, is when you... (Morning... morning, is when you... is when you...) Morning, is when you... (Morning... is when you... is when you...) Morning, is when you... (Morning... is when you... is when you...) Morning, is when you... (Morning... morning, is when you... is when you...) Morning... morning... morning, is when you wake up
