- Brown Sugar LyricsSongwriters: Jagger, Mick; Richards, Keith;
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him with the women just around midnight
Brown sugar
How come you dance so good?
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl should
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight
Brown sugar
How come you dance so good, now?
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl should, now
Get along, brown sugar
How come you dance so good, baby?
Got me feelin' now, brown sugar
Just like a black girl should
I bet your mama was a tent show queen
Had all the boyfriends at sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight
Brown sugar
How come you dance so good, baby?
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl should, yeah
I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah
How come you, how come you dance so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just like a, just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah"
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him with the women just around midnight
Brown sugar
How come you dance so good?
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl should
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight
Brown sugar
How come you dance so good, now?
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl should, now
How come you dance so good, baby?
Got me feelin' now, brown sugar
Just like a black girl should
I bet your mama was a tent show queen
Had all the boyfriends at sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight
Brown sugar
How come you dance so good, baby?
Brown sugar
Just like a young girl should, yeah
I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah
How come you, how come you dance so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just like a, just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah"

When we try to interpret the meaning, the Rolling Stones' 'Brown Sugar' boldly depicts the harsh reality of slavery and exploitation, portraying 'brown sugar' as a metaphor for the cruel treatment and dehumanization of black women. The song's lyrics illustrate the savage and inhuman conditions of the slaves, proposing at the same time the sexualization and fetishization of black women as a constant throughout history. The message of The Brown Sugar more or less conveys love, social commentary, joy, party and celebration. On the other hand, the song also indicates that slavery and exploitation together with racial and cultural identity are the main points. The expressive language and adult themes in the lyrics such as slavery, sexual innuendos, and suggestive language would make them inappropriate for children under 17 without parental guidance.

Where'd you get these from? Some are wrong. If you're going to put yourself out there as having song lyrics, you should make sure they're correct. Sheesh.

If Lennon had written this song he would have been, well you know, attacked! A double standard for certain folks in this country has got to go or more simply, You should go!
