[Intro]
Listen, baby
[Chorus]
If sugar was as sweet as you, honey
Sugar just couldn't be bought
They wouldn't sell it in the store if sugar
Was as sweet as you, baby
Sugar just couldn't be bought, oh no
You know that you so sweet
You make sugar taste just like salt, oh yeah
Listen, baby
[Verse 1]
All my life, I've suffered with a complex
I didn't think nobody cared
I thought where I was goin' or how I was to get there
But then my little life was spared
Because you came along and showed me I was wrong
Now that I think that I can carry on
Listen, baby
[Chorus]
If sugar was as sweet as you, honey
Sugar just couldn't be bought
Stick your finger in my coffee
If sugar was as sweet as you, baby
Sugar just couldn't be bought
Ha-ha, oh no
You know that you so sweet
You make sugar taste just like salt, yeah
Listen, baby
[Verse 2]
Take all the sugar cane down in Louisiana
And take it to the sugar cane mill
And grind yourself some of the finest sugar
It wouldn't change the way taht I feel
Because in order to find a sugar sweet as mine
You'll have to search for a long-long time
Woman, listen
[Chorus]
If sugar was as sweet as you, baby
Sugar just couldn't be bought
Told you they wouldn't sell it in the store
If sugar was as sweet as you, baby
Sugar just couldn't be bought
I feel this, I feel this is it
Listen, baby
You know that you so sweet
You make sugar taste just like salt, yeah
[Outro]
Get ready, everbody
Got say if sugar, honey, yeah
Was as sweet as you, baby (Yeah-yeah)
Sugar just couldn't be bought (Yeah, ha-ha-ha)
Sing it good, now (Lord, baby) (Yeah, oh yeah)
Listen, baby (Alright)
They know sugar nowhere (Alright)
Oh no (Yeah)
I try to tell everybody, they didn't listen to me (Yeah, oh yeah)
(Yeah) Lord, have mercy, yeah-yeah (Yeah)
So alright, alright
Say got to tell you one time (Oh yeah)
