[Verse 1]
I turn the bathroom light on
To take my make up off
Look at myself in the eye
I wonder why I wear it anyway
Another car drives by
I wonder where you are
The kids are all in bed
And everything but you is in its place
[Pre-Chorus]
From the street view lookin' in
It's pretty as a picture
Our home sweet home
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin'
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
[Verse 2]
Passed down from my mom
She wore it so well
She'd rest it on my shoulders
Say it's colder out there than you think
[Pre-Chorus]
Would I recognize myself?
Would anybody else
If I took the damn thing off
And burned it?
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin'
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, this damn sugar coat
[Bridge]
In one of these nights I'll meet you in the driveway
And tell you to go to hell
Go to hell
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin'
Sometimes I wish I liked pills
Wish I could sleep with a stranger
But someone like me never will
Sometimes I hardly can stand it
I just smile with a lump in my throat
Sometimes I wish I could bear it
Didn't have to wear this sugar coat
[Outro]
This damn sugar coat
Oh, this sugar coat
This damn sugar coat
Sugar Coat was written by Lori McKenna & Jordyn Shellhart & Josh Kerr.
Sugar Coat was produced by Tofer Brown & Little Big Town.

I think that track in particular became so cinematic. When we approached the vocals, hopefully, you’re feeling them as the background, just kind of this support of what’s being said. There’s so much drama in that track, and the strings on there, so beautiful.
