After leaving Epic Records earlier 2014, Karmin returned with the single “Sugar”. It blends the disco-influenced sound they rocked in Pulses, with their familiar rap.
A new version of “Sugar” was re-released on April 29, 2016 to be included on their album Leo Rising.
[Verse 1]
Saw you out by pool on the eighth of July
Didn't think much about it at the time
Didn't know that I'd have to cross this line
Didn't know, didn't know
I remember the guy who lost his pants
Took a hit then you laughed and then we danced
Now I’m around you and I don't trust my hands
Help me out, help me out
[Pre-Chorus]
Now that we’re cool, we can just chill, we can be friends
The problem with that’s I’ve gotten in over my head
[Chorus]
I can’t think about anybody but you, sugar
I can’t think about anybody but you
I can’t think about anybody but you, sugar
I can’t think about anybody but you
[Verse 2]
Take your time, work it out with a bottle of wine
Give a word, give a wink, or give a sign
Let me know it before I lose my mind
Let me know, let me know
How far do you think that this could go?
Would you sign your name with an X or an O?
We could rush it or we could go slow, go slow
[Pre-Chorus]
Now that we’re cool, we can just chill, we can be friends
The problem with that’s I’ve gotten in over my head
[Chorus]
I can’t think about anybody but you, sugar
I can’t think about anybody but you
I can’t think about anybody but you, sugar
I can’t think about anybody but you
[Verse 3]
You know what?
I used to be the type like watch and learn
But you can teach me how the tables turn
Got a old pro feeling like a amateur
Makin' it up as I do it entrepreneur
If I say the right things, will you come to me?
If I play the right strings, can I slay the piece?
You're the one that I want, I gotta do something
Got me feeling right like ooh, yummy
The hustle, bustle, sitting on the cusp of crisis
Your Midas touch is full of diamonds
Can we survive with a fate like the Mayans?
How can I live when the way I feel about you is
Intentional, dimensional? Flirtation is inevitable
Chemical, edible, side effects regrettable
My best judgment fights with the liquor
Is that a spark in your eyes or a flicker?
[Pre-Chorus]
Now that we're cool, we can just chill, we can be friends
The problem with that's I've gotten in over my head
[Chorus]
I can't think about anybody but you, sugar
I can't think about anybody but you
I can't think about anybody but you
I can't think about anybody but you, baby
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, sugar
You're so sweet, sweet to me
(You're so sweet to me, yeah)
[Outro]
Ooh, sugar (Ooh, sugar)
You're so sweet, sweet to me
I can't think about...
Ooh, sugar
You're so sweet, sweet to me
I can't think about anybody but you, sugar
I can't think about anybody but you
I can't think about anybody but you, sugar
I can't think about anybody else but you, anybody else but you
