Francesco Yates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh baby
Ooh, ooh, hey
Ah, she got cherry lips, angel eyes
She knows exactly how to tantalize
She's out to get you, danger by design
Cold-blooded vixen, she don't compromise
She's somethin' mystical in colored lights
So far from typical, but take my advice
Before you play with fire, do think twice
And if you get burned, don't be surprised
Got me lifted, driftin' higher than the ceilin'
Ooh, baby, it's the ultimate feelin'
You got me lifted, feelin' so gifted
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Oh, sugar, how you get so fly?
Oh, sugar, sugar, how you get so fly?
Oh, sugar, how you get so fly?
Ooh, sweet-talkin' lady, love how you entice
Sugar with just the right amount of spice
Charmin', allurin', everyone's desire
She's out to get you, you can't run, you can't hide
She's somethin' mystical in colored lights
I say, so far from typical but take my advice
Before you play with fire, do think twice
And if you get burned, well baby, don't you be surprised
Got me lifted, driftin' higher than the ceilin'
Ooh, baby, it's the ultimate feelin'
You got me lifted, feelin' so gifted
Sugar, how you get so fly?
So fly, ooh, hey
Oh, babe
Yeah, hey
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Oh, sugar, how you get so fly?
Said sugar, sugar, how you get so fly?
But you won't get me tonight
Got me lifted, driftin' higher than the ceilin'
Ooh, baby, it's the ultimate feelin'
You got me lifted, feelin' so gifted
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Oh, sugar, how you get so fly?
So, sugar, sugar, how you get so fly?
Oh, sugar, how you get so fly?
The lyrics of Francesco Yates's song Sugar describe a woman who is as sweet as sugar and as irresistible as candy. She has cherry lips and angel eyes and knows how to tantalize. She is a cold-blooded vixen who is out to get you and she doesn't compromise. She is optimistic of the colored lights and enjoys the attention she gets. The singer advises listeners to think twice before playing with fire and warns them that if they do get burned, they shouldn't be surprised.
The chorus of the song talks about how the woman makes the singer feel. He feels lifted and is drifting higher than the ceiling. He describes the feeling as the ultimate feeling and says that she makes him feel so gifted. The chorus also repeats the question "Sugar, how you get so fly?" which is a question that no one can answer. Maybe it is meant to reflect how mysterious and alluring the woman is.
The verses describe the woman's magic and how she enchants everyone she meets. She is a sweet-talking lady who knows just how much spice to add. She is charming and alluring and everyone desires her. She is something mystical in colored lights and is far from typical. The singer warns his listeners that they won't get him tonight, perhaps because he is aware of the intensity of her powers.
