21st Street

Sweet Street

Gonna put you on sweet street, treat you right.
Satisfy you, Mama, just like you was white.
I keep my friends in the pink, gonna make ya feel fine.
You don't want my sugar, there's others waitin' in line.
"Tho I'm no doctor, I can ease the pain.
When the desert is dry, I bring the rain down.
I got a chocolate woman, Makes a dead man feel.
This organ grinder, plays good music.
Got big deals.
I can make a deaf woman hear a little baby talk.
You know she heard me by the way she walks.
"Tho I'm no doctor, I can ease your pain.
When the desert is dry, I bring the rain down.
Give you all my money, you be takin' me down.
Hittin bottom on sweet street, spread your honey around.
I take care of my business, in this jungle town.
"Tho I'm no doctor, I can ease the pain.
When the desert is dry, I bring the rain down.
Gonna put you on sweet street, treat you right.
Satisfy you, Mama, just like you was white.
I keep my friends in the pink, gonna make ya feel fine.
You don't want my sugar, there's others waitin' in line.
"Tho I'm no doctor, I can ease your pain.
When the desert is dry, I'll bring the rain down.
Do it, do it;
I'm gonna do it to ya, darlin'
Do it. Sweet, sweet...
