99 Pounds

[Verse 1]

Twenty-five pounds of pure cane sugar

In each and every kiss

You wouldn't know what I'm talkin' about

If you never had lovin' like this

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't mean to be brash

Tell y'all, it's a natural fact

Good things come in small packages

You'll have to agree to that, tell you now

[Chorus]

Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness, y'all

Ninety-nine pounds of soul, tell you now

Now I'm ninety-nine pounds of natural goodness, y'all

Ninety-nine pounds of soul

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Twenty-five pounds of tenderness

In each and every touch

Twenty-five pounds of understandin' my man

And I don't want to worry too much

[Pre-Chorus]

Twenty-four pounds of something, y'all

That I can't even name

And it all adds up to ninety-nine pounds

Well put together in a fine wire frame

[Chorus]

And I'm ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness, y'all

Ninety-nine pounds of soul, let me tell you now

Now I'm ninety-nine pounds of natural goodness, y'all

Ninety-nine pounds of soul

[Outro]

Ninety-nine, y'all

Oh, sure is fine

Ninety-nine, y'all
