She's so affectionate and I'll say this
That when she kisses me I sure stay kissed

When my sugar walks down the street
Whenever my beloved walks on the street
All the little birdies go tweet, tweet, tweet.
All the birds chirp in excitement and joy when she is around
And in the evening when the sun goes down
During sunset and nightfall
It's never dark when she's around
It doesn't feel dark or lonely when she is with me
She's so affectionate and I'll say this
She shows me love and care, and I must admit
That when she kisses me I sure stay kissed
Whenever she kisses me, I feel the love lingering
When my sugar walks down the street
Whenever my beloved walks on the street
The little birdies go tweet tweet tweet.
All the birds chirp in excitement and joy when she is around
