Like Sugar On My Tongue Lyrics – Tyler, The Creator

It’s got that classic Tyler bounce—jazzy horns sneaking in like a late-night craving, all wrapped around lyrics that turn flirtation into something you can almost taste. As track two in the 10-song set, it leans into his playful side, post-Chromakopia, where he’s less guarded and more like he’s whispering secrets over a beat that samples old soul records he dug up from his dad’s collection.

Right from the intro’s breathy “Ah-ah-ah-ah (Ayy, ayy),” it pulls you in, then verse one hits with “Like sugar on my tongue, tongue, tongue / Your body is so sweet, sweet, sweet.” He’s painting these vivid, cheeky pictures—inviting himself to the feast, asking to “steal that from you” in the chorus like it’s the only thing on the menu. Verse two amps the wordplay: “Are you from Harlem? Make your arms and legs shake, uh-huh,” mixing borough nods with bedroom promises, while the bridge flips the script on who’s devouring who. Produced by Tyler himself with a nod to his Golf Wang crew, it’s got that live-band feel he chased on IGOR but looser, like a house party spilling into dawn.

Fans caught wind from his cryptic X posts last week, and now clips are everywhere, with folks breaking down how it ties into the album’s theme of fragile freedoms—don’t tap the glass, just savor the view. :DON’T TAP THE GLASS feels like Tyler cracking open after years of evolution, blending his rap roots with those lush, lovesick hooks that stick.
