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
