Juicy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I miss him everyday
Ah, mh, yeah
Mh, ah, oh, yeah
Mh, ah, oh, yeah
Mh, ah, oh, yeah
Oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh no
Heavy, heavy
Oh sugar
I'm sugar free
In the night
I'm sugar free
In the day
My sweetheart
Had to go away
For a little while
And when my I.U
Is not here with me
I'm the helpless type
I'm sugar free
In the night
(So lonely, so lonely)
I'm sugar free
In the day
(So lonely, yeah)
I know he loves me
I know he cares
Cause he's all mine
And soon he'll be knockin'
At my door
Things will be alright
I'm sugar free
In the night
(So lonely, so lonely)
I'm sugar free
In the day
(I feel so lonely, yeah)
Listen, let me explain
I like livin' my life in the fast lane
Partyin' hard and havin' fun
Females - I need more than one
Straight up and down on the serious tip
I ain't with no relationship
It may sound like a diss but believe me it's not
Matter of fact I really like you a lot
But it's a dead issue for you to pursue
Cause yo boo, I like you but I like others too
The heartaches, the breaks, the pains, I don't need em
Instead give me some head and a whole lotta freedom
I like to swing, I ain't with no commitment
Parties, ladies and beer by the shipment
But when I do my thing you get mad
Call me on the telephone soundin' all sad
Don't mean to hurt your feelings, my dear
But listen here, I'm the mack of the year
So if you have plans to settle down with me
I guess you just have to be - sugar free
Oh my sugar's gone
He's gone away
I miss him every night
And every day
Oh my sugar's gone
He's gone away
I miss him every night
And every day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyday, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
My sugar is gone
I.U.
I.U.
My sugar is gone
Oh sugar
Heavy
My sugar's gone
Oh my sugar's gone
He's gone away
Yo, that sounds beautiful
That's another rapid shipment
The song "Sugar Free" by Juicy is about missing a loved one. The lyrics describe the feeling of being "helpless" and "lonely" when the person they love is not around. The repetition of "Mh, ah, oh yeah" and "oh, oh, oh, oh no" adds to the emotions in the song. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to be "sugar-free," implying that their love for the person is like an addiction, and being away from them is like trying to quit a drug. The verse by the male rapper (who is not credited) provides a contrast to the main sentiment, as he professes his love for partying and having multiple partners, making it clear that he is not looking for a serious relationship.

Its crazy that most think this is Mtume, but true R&B lovers know the dealβοΈ
@tedhammond9340
Yup! Agreed. They have a very similar sound to Mtume and it was furhter confused by the fact that Mtume had a song called Juicy Fruit and not many people on the group Juicy. Btw I am a true R&B lover but I did make this mistake initially. Lol!
