99 Pounds Songtext
von Ann Peebles

25 Pounds of pure cane sugar
In each and every kiss
You wouldn′t know what I'm talkin′ about
If you never had lovin' like this

I don't mean to be brash
Tell y′all, it′s a natural fact
Good things come in small packages
You'll have to agree to that, tell you now

99 pounds of natural-born goodness, y′all
99 pounds of soul, tell you now
I'm 99 pounds of natural goodness, y′all
99 pounds of soul


25 pounds of tenderness
In each and every touch
25 pounds of understandin' my man
And I don′t wanna worry too much

24 pounds of something, y'all
That I can't even name
And it all adds up to 99 pounds
Well, put together in a fine round frame

And I′m 99 pounds of natural born goodness, y′all
99 pounds of soul, let me tell you now
I'm 99 pounds of natural born goodness, y′all
99 pounds of soul

99, y'all
Oh, sure is fine
99, y′all
