He talks about the sweet anticipation and how they can't fight the natural feelings they have for each other's bodies. He tells his partner that they can do whatever she wants, and he already knows what she wants, which excites him. He emphasizes how much he knows about her "temptations" and that he'll be delighted to ride her.
T-Pain seems to be delighted by the prospect of exploring his partner again and again. The way he emphasizes on how natural it feels, and how they can't fight it alludes to a lusty and passionate relationship. He describes his partner as the greatest, and the love TKO, referring to the great football heavyweight match between Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson. It shows that he views his partner as a worthy competitor, and that being with her is always exciting.
In conclusion, the song "Sweet" by T-Pain is a playful and suggestive song. The lyrics ooze an underlying desire for someone, which he can't help but indulge. The use of boxing metaphors to describe the woman gives the song an almost aggressive tone that counters the song's 'sweet' chorus.
