well you got the sugar
and you got enough salt
and you got a taste that can make my breath come
to a halt
my appetite gets tempted
every time you're around
and I thank the powers that be for this sweet man
that I've found
but of all your flavors the sweetest to me
is the way you let me just be

well I didn't know
what I was looking for
til you put this taste in my mouth
filled me up 'til I didn't need more
you might find me nasty
if I shout it out loud
but to find myself a lover like this
well I think I should be proud
but of all your flavors the sweetest to me
is the way you let me just be

my mind gets so hectic
like a rush hour street
then you come groovin' round my corners
and you smooth out the beat
and you can swing me up
and you can love me down
and when you leave me I can still feel your rhythm
all over town
but of all your favors the best that you do for me
is the way you let me just be

do you have enough sugar?
did you get enough salt?
have I covered you in love spices
'til you're spiced up to a fault?
we can get all heated
then we can cool each other down
Then you love me down so mellow that I can't even make a sound
yeah well you and me we can make ourselves a good stew
you let me be me I let you be you
