Lyrics

When you've been 'bused and misery and scorn
Been following you around
And all the while, there's trouble and then trial
That's battering you down
When all you see is suffering and strife
There really ain't no doubt, this part you see is right
I'm telling you indeed
Some sugar's what you need
To sweeten up your life
In all this world, of struggling and woe
And meddling with man
There's just one thing, that really I do know
And truly understand
When you're in pain and wallow in despair
And living is so sour, that nothing can seem fair
Then find you a true love, so sugar will be there
To sweeten up your life
You don't say, hey, I know what you're talking about
I got it all figured out
And ain't no doubt about it
It's the truth we spurned that many a lonely heart has learned
Who you hunching, baby, 'cause I've been there and I don't care
Who knows that I've been there and back
Hitting and running and catting and funding
And always something missing
And I'm here to tell you
This life is sure enough a booger
When you're single without your sugar
Truly, really, life is really lived ideally
When you're doubling up
And drop some sugar in your own cup
There's many's an awful lot of lovely you can have and hold
And some other life can be quite cold
Although it's spring 'cause everybody needs a spring sometime
Whether or not there's reason or
There's any of what the bards call rhyme
All of the time, we all need kissing
Truly, life is pretty terrible when kissing's missing
When you've been 'bused and misery and scorn
Been following you around
And all the while, there's trouble and then trial
That's battering you down
When all you see is suffering and strife
There really ain't no doubt, this part you see is right
I'm telling you indeed
Some sugar's what you need
To sweeten up your life
