Sugar High
Eight to the Bar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the buzz I get from you is this
When I'm feeling kinda low and I want to fly
Then all I need from you is just a little kiss
But the thing about the zing is it never lasts
And I find as soon as I'm in, I'm out
Cause the minute that you go, well I have to crash
And then I get what the addiction is about
Oh you're stronger my love
Better than all of the caffeine
I forbid myself
Well you're worse than a drug
But can't you tell that I'm happy
You're messing around with my health
You're my coffee on the go, you're my sugar high
And the buzz I get from you I need
But I'm never running out of my love supply
Cause you know that you're sweet on me
Oh you're stronger my love
Better than all of the caffeine
I forbid myself
Yeah you're worse than a drug
But can't you tell that I'm happy
You're messing around with my health
You're my coffee on the go, you're my sugar high
And the buzz I get from you I need
But I'm never running out of my love supply
Cause you know that you're sweet on me
You're sweet on me my sugar
And I'm never running out
Of my supply
Don't go away my sugar
High...
No no my sugar high
You're my coffee on the go
And its better than anything
The buzz I get from you is this
Sugar high
Sweet sugar high
No don't g
o away my sugar high
