Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep thinking oh you're fine
But not mine
You belong to somebody else
So do I sugar
You belong to somebody else
So do I baby
Sugar I'd love to love you
Rock me all night long
Rock me baby
Rock me all night
All night long
Sugar there is something calling
Begging me to
Go astray
A cliche

Sugar baby I keep felling
Rock me baby

Rock me all night
All night long
Sugar yes you drive me crazy

Sugar
The song "Sugar" by Bruno Coulais & Akhenaton is a beautiful track, which talks about the taboo topic of loving someone who doesn't belong to you. The lyrics suggest that the singer is in love with someone who is already taken, and he is aware of it. He keeps feeling the urge to be with them, but knows that it is not right. The words "You belong to somebody else, so do I" indicate that the singer is in a similar situation as the person he is attracted to, and hence, he doesn't feel entitled to them.
The song then continues to express how the singer is torn between his feelings and what is moral. He mentions that he would love to love the other person, but he is better off with "strawberry wine," a metaphor that could imply either he wants to enjoy the moment with someone else or he needs to find solace in something else to cope up with his situation. The song then ends with the singer repeating his longing to be with the person he desires, but he is aware that they cannot be together.
Overall, the lyrics of the song are beautifully written, and the melody provides a soothing backdrop. The terms "sugar" and "rock me all night" used in the song create a sense of intimacy, as if the singer is speaking to the person he desires with tenderness and yearning.
