Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna hear no trouble talk
People telling me what they seen you do
Girl, we got understanding and I don't wanna ruin it
If I wanna find something wrong, I'll go catch you doing it, wooh!
[Verse 2]
You got what I need baby (Don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose ya
(Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you)
So I'm gon' give you respect and I want to protect
Our love (This love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna act so naive
When people tell me you gon' deceive me
You're the only one's brought me peace and joy
What we share, Lord knows, I ain't about to destroy
[Verse 4]
Oh, baby (Sugar, sugar, now)
I don't wanna lose you
(Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you)
So I'm gon' give you respect and I wanna protect
Our love (This love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh (Sugar, sugar, now)
I don't wanna lose you
(Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you) Sugar
[Verse 5]
You possess all the things I been searching for
You're the only one I worship and I adore
What you got, baby, so many fellas are trying to find
Not gonna fix it so some other guy can beat my time
[Verse 6]
(Ooh, sugar, sugar, now)
I don't wanna lose you
(Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you)
So I'm gon' give you respect and I want to protect
Our love (This love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Give you respect, wanna protect)
Little girl (This love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ooh (Sugar, sugar now)
I don't wanna lose ya
(Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you)
So I'm gon' give you respect and I want to protect
Our love (This love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Give you respect, gotta protect)
This love of ours, yeah, yeah (This love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)
