Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give me sugar
Give me something sweet
I've spent a lifetime
Feelin' incomplete
If I sound bitter
Or if I've come too late
Please reconsider
I don't need much on my plate
Just give me sugar
[Verse 2]
Don't come close, please keep at a distance
Look but don't touch till the light goes on
Sorrow's a lamb and please wait at the window
Don't touch the glass till the curtain calls
[Verse 3]
Wait, wait
Don't make me wait
Wait, wait
Don't make me wait
Just give me sugar
[Verse 4]
Give me sugar
Give me something deep
Don't make a habit
Of crawling on my knees
But this is different
Can't you see I'm in control?
This is the moment
Where all your dreams have flown
Just give me sugar
[Verse 5]
Don't come close, please keep at a distance
Look but don't touch till the light goes on
Sorrow's a lamb and please wait at the window
Don't touch the glass till the curtain calls
[Verse 6]
Wait, wait
Don't make me wait
Wait, wait
Don't make me wait
Just give me sugar
[Verse 7]
Don't look around
Sugar (Don't look around)
Said, sugar (Don't look around)
Sugar (Don't look around)
[Verse 8]
Oh, won't someone love me?
Won't someone love me?
Won't someone love me?
Won't someone love me?
[Verse 9]
Like you
Like you
Like you
Like you
Someone like you
