"Sugarman"

Skies are blue when I'm with you
They turn to grey when you're away
I'm not your doll, I'm not your pet
But I'm not my own ever since we met
I edit my thoughts, I edit my words
I eat and drink 'til nothing hurts
But one of these days, love will turn to hate
And I'll bite the hand that feeds me cakes

[Chorus:]
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 rot your teeth, it'll make you too high
But there's not a lot sugar can't buy
In a world of salt, of sweat and tears
Sometimes you need a little sugar to get through the years
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
When you serve the tea, watch the sugar dissolve
Just don't go confusing sugar with love

My mama was cold and she was told
She'd never been young, so she never grew old
She took a deep breath and never exhaled
Lived the rest of her life from under a veil
I grew up quick, but I grew up strong
Didn't get to be her baby too long
Whenever I'd eat, I just craved sweet
What I couldn't get at home, I got in the streets

[Chorus:]
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

[Outro:]
(Sugar man, sugar man, sugar daddy, sugar daddy)
(Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy)
(Sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy, sugar daddy)
