Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Skies are blue

When I'm with you

They turn to grey

When you're away

[Verse 2]

I'm not your doll

I'm not your pet

But I'm not my own

Ever since we met

[Verse 3]

I edit my thoughts

I edit my words

I eat and drink

Till nothing hurts

[Verse 4]

But one of these days

Love will turn to hate

And I'll bite the hand

That feeds me cakes

[Verse 5]

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

[Verse 6]

Sugar rot your teeth

It'll make you too high

But there's not a lot

Sugar can't buy

[Verse 7]

In a world of salt

Of sweat and tears

Sometimes you need a little sugar

To get through the years

[Verse 8]

They set a big table

Didn't save you a seat

Just find a lap to sit on

And you'll get something to eat

[Verse 9]

When they serve the tea

Watch the sugar dissolve

Just don't go confusing

Sugar with love

[Verse 10]

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

[Verse 11]

My mama was cold

And she was told

She'd never been young

So she never grew old

[Verse 12]

She took a deep breath

And never exhaled

Lived the rest of her life

From under a veil

[Verse 13]

I grew up quick

But I grew up strong

Didn't get to be

Her baby too long

[Verse 14]

Whenever I'd eat

I just craved sweet

What I couldn't get at home

I got in the streets

[Verse 15]

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man

Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

[Verse 16]

Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Man, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Man, Sugar Daddy

Sugar Man
