Love you're gettin' lazy

You're forgettin' to give me

Sweet sugar words that I want to hear

You've been neglectin' me

You know jealousy, it is

bitter as a green spring berry

just like fruit from a fickle vine

You turn sweet in the nick of time

Love, you only come alive

when you're losin' me

And it's a childish game

I've got to shake you

up just to wake you up

To make you love me

I'll shake the sugar tree

Till I feel your love falling

All around me

Ya gotta tend to what ya planted

And if you take my love for granted baby

I'll shake the sugar tree

Another night and you're sleepin'

I'm awake and I'm dreamin'

Oh honey 'bout the way you used to be

A little time's gone by

do you think that I'm content

with a cookin and a payin the rent

No I want to know

if your love's all spent

I'll shake the sugar tree

Till I feel your love falling

All around me

Ya gota tend to what ya planted

And if you take my love for granted baby

I'll shake the sugar tree

oooo hoooe

I've got to raise some

commotion

Before you show me

Some real emotion

I'll shake the sugar tree

Till I feel your love falling

All around me

Ya gota tend to what ya planted

And if you take my love for granted baby

I'll shake shake shake the sugar tree

oooh you know i'm gonna

shake the sugar tree

till i feel your love fallin

all around me

shake the sugar tree
