Sugarcube
Airfare Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know how to act
Around women
They loved it when I asked
All my questions

Refrain 1:
Like where're you're from
Where did you come from, honey

What's all that you're saying
What's that game you're playing on me
They don't ever wanna say
Nothing ever comes along

And I know how to act
Around your lady, my friend
She loved it when I asked
All my questions

Refrain 1

Refrain 2:
And I will ride upon your chain
My sugar all the way on now

And all I got for you
My princess is a sugarcube
Won't never do
What you wanna do

And all I got for you
My princess is a sugarcube
Won't never do at all

I know how to act
Around your lady
She loved it when I asked
Oh so sweetly

Oh Can I go with you
Kind of place to go
Can I stay with you
Inside your home

They don't ever wanna say
Nothing ever comes along

Refrain 2

I don't know
No, no, no, I don't know
I don't think that's a good idea
My son
And I think you better go

I don't know
No, no, no, I don't know
I don't think that's a good idea

I don't think that's a good idea
At all

Overall Meaning

The song "Sugarcube" by Airfare talks about the singer's ability to act charming around women and how asking questions always works in his favor. He praises his own skills by stating that he knows the right questions to ask, such as where the person is from and what they're saying or playing. The lyrics of the refrain suggest that the women never want to say anything, so the questions keep the conversation going. The singer refers to the woman as "your lady" and claims to know how to act around her.

In the second half of the song, the singer addresses the listener, his friend, and claims that he knows how to act around his lady as well. The refrain changes, and the singer announces how he wants to belong to his lady and become her sugar. He calls her his princess and refers to himself as a sugarcube, stating that he will never do what she wants him to do. The song ends with the singer cautioning his son that he doesn't think it's a good idea and that he should go.
