Brown Sugar (Live 2015) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing all right
You shoulda heard him just around midnight

[Chorus]
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar, just like a young gal should

[Verse 2]
Yeah, drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows he's doing all right
You shoulda heard him just around midnight

[Chorus]
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar, just like a young gal should
Rock it out

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Yeah, brown sugar, just like a young gal should
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy, I know what I like
You shoulda heard 'em just around midnight

[Chorus]
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar, just like a young gal should
Brown sugar
Yeah
Brown sugar
Yeah, rock it out, rock it out
Sh-, come on now, brown sugar
Sugar
Sugar
Sugar
?

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo!)
How come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo!)
Just like a young gal should
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo!)
That's right, take it on home, take it home
Everybody on the top!
Everybody on the top!
Whoo!
Rock it out, rock it out

Yeah, give it up for that brown sugar, baby
Give it up for that brown sugar girl
Take it on for that brown sugar baby
Take it on for that brown sugar baby
Come on, let's get out

Yeah, come on
Whoo woo!
Want to do that one more time
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo!)
How come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo!)
Yeah got that right
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo!)
C'mon!
Uh huh, uh huh
Yeah
Come on, let's go
Next one
Come on
[Audience Applause]
Yes!
[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Thank you! Thank you so much! Los Angeles, I hope you all got ten dollars back. See you later

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
