Lyrics

[Intro]
Sugar
Sugar, mmm
Ooh
[Verse 1]
She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous, avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?
[Chorus]
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so (Tell me so, baby)
[Verse 2]
He's acting shy, looking for an answer
Come on, honey, let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime, so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high-rise apartment
At last, he can tell her exactly what his heart meant
[Chorus]
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, honey, tell me so
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know
[Bridge]
His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last, he's got this girl home
Relax, baby, now we're all alone
Ow
[Verse 3]
They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Two total strangers, but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside, it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other, neither one's complaining
He says, "I'm sorry, but I'm out of milk and coffee"
"Never mind, sugar, we can watch the early movie"
[Chorus]
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so, ooh
[Outro]
Sugar
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me
Just let me know
Just reach out and touch me
Hmm
If you really want me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
Just come on and tell me so
Just reach out and tell me so
