[Verse 1]
If I could count the stupid things I do for you
Oh, just for a taste (Mhm)
I'd make it to a million just to realize
It was all just a chase
Oh, what a waste
[Pre-Chorus]
And now, I hope you know what you've done
I won't be here when you're running back
'Cause you don't have anyone
[Chorus]
Oh, I bet you think your honey tastes like sugar
But honey, sugar don't taste that bitter
Baby, you ain't sweet
Look at what you did to me
Oh, I bet you money that you'll look back later
But baby, money won't make this better
Baby, love ain't cheap
Look at what you did to me
[Post-Chorus]
Look at what you did
Look at what you did
[Verse 2]
Silver chains and promise rings
Never really meant a thing, did they? (Oh, no-oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
And now, I hope you know what you've done
I won't be here when you're running back
'Cause you don't have anyone
[Chorus]
Oh, I bet you think your honey tastes like sugar
But honey, sugar don't taste that bitter
Baby, you ain't sweet
Look at what you did to me
Oh, I bet you money that you'll look back later
But baby, money won't make this better
Baby, love ain't cheap
Look at what you did to me
[Bridge]
Ooh, look what you did to me, baby
Look what you did to me, baby, uh
Ooh, look what you did to me, baby
Look what you did to me, baby
[Chorus]
Oh, I bet you think your honey tastes like sugar
But honey, sugar don't taste that bitter
Baby, you ain't sweet
Look at what you did to me (What you're doing to me)
Oh, I bet you money that you'll look back later
But baby, money won't make this better
Baby, love ain't cheap
Look at what you did to me

‘Sugar Sweet’ is my sassy song about moving on from someone who treats you like a second option instead of a priority. This is for everyone that can relate and found their confidence in themselves.
