This is how lovers rock should be done: the music (courtesy of Mad Professor) is buttery smooth, Kofi's vocals are similarly mellow -- yet with a sultry power that demands your attention -- and the melodies are supple enough to fit into any R&B radio station's nightly "Quiet Storm" programming. Unlike some lovers rock, the material here never treads into the pop realm to a disgusting degree (although there is an R&B remake of Midnight Star's classic "Curious."). But her lyrics don't always stick to pure lovers content. "Big John," for instance, is a poignant tale of a sympathetic killer, while "Black Pride" focuses on, well, black pride. Nevertheless, Kofi's soothing lovers style is consistent, no matter what the lyrical content. Along with the previously mentioned tracks, "There Must Be," "Didn't I," and "Reggae Starship" are especially strong, but all of the cuts on Black...With Sugar come together to set a mood that is hard to resist.

Don't Let Go
Kofi Lyrics

Girl, why you act like this
I don't know why you make such injustice
You know I miss you night and day
I can't think of a any better way to say

Don't get so mad about it
Cause I don't want to force it
Why you make my heart keeps falling down
I wanna hold your body

Girl, love, no want, no fuss, no fighting
Girl, love, 'cause I don't want nobody
Down, girl
Don't let me down
You know my heart keeps falling

Down, girl
Don't let me down
You know my heart keeps falling

Down, girl
Don't let me down
You know my heart keeps falling

Down, girl
Don't let me down
You know my heart keeps falling

If everything is good
When everything is right
When everybody feels irie
I know everything is all right

Come, baby! Hold me close
I know your love is so pure
With Jah as our ruler
I know our love will endure

You know my heart keeps falling
Down girl
Don't let me down

You know my heart keeps falling
Down girl
Don't let me down
