Sweet Potato Pie Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh lord i feel fine today
I'm walking on cloud nine today
I'm over that line today
Happiness is finally mine today
I guess i'm just a lucky guy
And i'm prepared to tell you why
It's strictly on account of my

[Chorus]
Sweet potato pie

[Verse 2]
I'm the fellow that she loves the most
The main reason why she left the coast
She's my little girlziña
That much hotter that a jalapeño
As tender as a night in june
Sweeter than a honeymoon
Brighter than a silver spoon
Just as crazy as a loon
Softer than a lullabye
Deeper than the midnight sky
Soulful as a baby's cry

[Chorus]
My sweet potato pie
[Verse 3]
I used to see her around the neighborhood
I wonder how she grew up so good
She belonged to freddy and he was bad
And i never was ready to make him mad
But i'm glad i had to wait awhile
A little bit too juvenile
I needed to refine my style
A silk suit and a crocodile smile
So let the whole damn world go by
Because i just want to testify
From now on it's me and my

[Chorus]
Sweet potato pie [x2]
