Shake The Sugar Tree

Love, you're getting lazy

You're forgetting to give me

Sweet sugar, words that I wanna hear

You've been neglecting me

You know jealousy

It is as bitter as a green spring berry

And just like fruit from a fickle vine

You turn sweet in the nick of time

Love, you only come alive when you're losing me

And it's a childish game

I've got to shake you up just to wake you up

To make you love me

I'll shake the sugar tree

'Til I feel your love falling all around me

You've got to tend to what you planted

And if you take my love for granted

Baby, I'll shake the sugar tree

Another night and you're sleeping

I'm awake and I'm dreaming

Oh honey, 'bout the way that it used to be

A little time's gone by, do you think that I'm content

With the cooking and the paying of rent?

No, I wanna know if your love's all spent

I'll shake the sugar tree

'Til I feel your love falling all around me

You've got to tend to what you planted

And if you take my love for granted

Baby, I'll shake the sugar tree, oh oh

I've got to raise some commotion

Before you show me some real emotion

I'll shake the sugar tree

'Til I feel your love falling all around me

You've got to tend to what you planted

And if you take my love for granted

Baby, I'll shake, shake, shake the sugar tree

You know I'm gonna shake the sugar tree

'Til I feel your love falling all around me

You've got to tend to what you planted

And if you take my love for granted

Baby, I'll shake, shake, shake the sugar tree
