Brown Skin
India.Arie(인디아 아리) Lyrics

Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
I adore everything about you and your gorgeous brown skin.

I can't tell where yours begins, I can't tell where mine ends
When I'm near you, we blend together so effortlessly that it's difficult to distinguish where I end and you begin.

Brown skin, up against my brown skin
When our skin is touching, I feel a sense of warmth and comfort that can't be found anywhere else.

Need some every now and then, oh hey
I can't help but crave your touch and affection every once in a while.

Where are your people from? Maybe Mississippi or an Island
I'm curious about your ancestral roots, and I wonder if your family hails from the American South or from an island somewhere far away.

Apparently your skin has been kissed by the sun
Your complexion is so rich and radiant that it looks as though the sun has showered it with endless kisses.

You make me want a Hershey's kiss, your licorice
The deliciously sweet and rich flavor of your skin reminds me of indulgent treats like Hershey's kisses and licorice.

Every time I see your lips, it makes me think of honey-coated chocolate
Your soft, sweet lips remind me of the taste and texture of honey-coated chocolate.

Your kisses are worth more than gold to me
To me, your kisses are incredibly valuable and precious, more so than anything material like gold.

I'll be your almond joy, you'll be my sugar daddy
Let's be each other's source of pleasure and delight, where I am like an almond joy candy and you are my sugar daddy.

Every time you come around, something magnetic pulls me and I can't get out
There is an unexplainable attraction and connection between us that feels magnetic and irresistible, making it hard for me to pull away from you.

Disoriented, I can't tell my up from down
When I am near you, I feel so overwhelmed with emotions and sensations that I become disoriented and confused about my surroundings.

All I know is that I want to lay you down
Despite the disorientation, all I know for sure is that I desire to be close to you, to hold you, and to make love to you.

Every time I let you in, abracadabra magic happens as we swim
Whenever I let you into my life and we allow ourselves to be intimate, it feels like an enchanting and magical experience in which we are swimming together.

Higher and higher finally we reach heaven
As we become more and more intimate, we soar higher into a place that feels like heaven.

Come back to earth and then we do it all again
After experiencing the heavenly heights of intimacy, we come back down to earth and want to reconnect and do it all over again.

Skin so brown, lips so round
I can't help but admire your beautiful brown skin and your lips, which are full and round.

Baby how can I be down?
I am completely infatuated and attracted to you, and I want to find a way to be close to you.

Beautiful mahogany, you make me feel like a queen
Your rich and luscious brown skin color is so stunning that it makes me feel like royalty and queen-like in your presence.

Tell me what's that thing you do that makes me want to get next to you, yeah
I'm drawn to you in ways that I can't explain, and I want to know what you do or what energy you have that draws me closer to you.
