Soft caress of happiness 
                                     Cm7 C#m7 Dm7 
The way you walk, your style of dress

I wish I didn't get so weak 
                                  Cm7 C#m7 Dm7

Makes me argue just to see 
                                Cm7           
How much you're in love with me

So I tell you "Leave", when I mean "Stay" 
                               Dm7 D#m7 Cm7 
Warm as the sun dipped in black 
                                  Cm7 C#m7 Dm7 
Fingertips on the small of my back 
                   Dm7   D#m7 Cm7      Cm7 C#m7  
More valuable than all   I    own

    Like your precious, precious, precious, precious, precious dark skin tone
