James Taylor Sweet Potato Pie Lyrics

Sweet Potato Pie Lyrics

Oh Lord I feel fine today
I`m walking on cloud nine today
I`m over that line today
Happiness is finally mine today

I guess I`m just a lucky guy
And I`m prepared to tell you why
It`s strictly on account of my
Sweet Potato Pie

I`m the fellow that she loves the most
The main reason why she left the coast
She`s my little girlziña
That much hotter that a jalapeño

Tender like a night in June
Sweeter than a honeymoon
Brighter than a silver spoon
Just as crazy as a loon

Softer than a lullabye
Deeper than the midnight sky
Soulful as a baby`s cry
My Sweet Potato Pie

I used to see her around the neighborhood
I wonder how she grew up so good
She belonged to Freddy and he was bad
And I never was ready to make him mad

I`m glad I had to wait awhile
A little bit too juvenile
I needed to refine my style
A silk suit and a crocodile smile

So let the whole damn world go by
`Cause I just want to testify
From now on it`s me and my
Sweet Potato Pie
