Sugar [That Sugar Baby o' Mine]

Have you heard what I've done?

Found a word, just the one

That takes the place of one I used to call

Baby doll

It ain't new, it ain't old

But if you do what you're told

You'll find the answer if you take a look

In Mr. Webster's dictionary book

The name is...

Sugar

I call my baby my sugar

That is the reason why maybe

That sugar baby is mine

I'm shoutin' 'bout him!

Funny

He doesn't spend any money

All he can lend me is honey

That he can spend any time

I'd make a million trips

To his lips

If I were a bee

'Cause they are sweeter

Than any candy to me

That's why I'm sighin'!

Sugar

I get my taffy from sugar

Once more, I'm daffy 'bout sugar

That sugar baby of mine!

My sugar's so refined

You can't find

None like him in town

To make it more complete

He's so sweet and so brown

He's special racial!

Sugar

Knows I'm just sweet on my sugar

No! I won't cheat on my sugar

That sugar baby of mine!
