Maroon 5
Let's go
Yo, I got them Now & Laters, and them Jolly Ranchers, too
It ain't a question, but I got the answers, too
These shoes is Cavalli, and the pants is too
Like when I see him I'ma strip like the dancers do
Show these girls how to do it off campus, too
Yo, as long as you know he got the baddest, I'm flattered
I'm the only one that he answers to
And if you need it then I'ma put it on ya
Ain't nothin' sweeter, you want this sugar, don't ya?
Up, down, inside, water park it, slip slide
Would'a, could'a, should'a got ya sugar, get ya sugar
Your sugar, yes, please
Would you come and put it down on me?
I'm right here, 'cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Yeah, you show me good loving
Make it alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Your sugar, yes, please
Would you come and put it down on me?
Babe, my broken pieces
You pick them up
Don't leave me hanging, hanging
Come give me some
When I'm without you
I'm so insecure
You are the one thing, one thing I'm living for
I don't wanna be needing your love
I just wanna be deep in your love
And it's killing me when you're away, oh, baby
'Cause I really don't care where you are
I just wanna be there where you are
And I gotta get one little taste
Your sugar, yes, please
Would you come and put it down on me?
I'm right here, 'cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Yeah, you show me good loving
Make it alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Your sugar, yes, please
Would you come and put it down on me?
I want that red velvet
I want that sugar sweet
Don't let nobody touch it unless that somebody's me
I gotta be your man, there ain't no other way
'Cause, girl, you're hotter than a Southern California day
I don't wanna play no games
You don't gotta be afraid
Don't give me all that shy shit
No make-up on, that's my sugar
Your sugar, yes, please
Would you come and put it down on me?
I'm right here, 'cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Yeah, you show me good loving
Make it alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Your sugar, yes, please
Would you come and put it down on me?
Your sugar, yes, please
Would you come and put it down on me?
I'm right here, 'cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Yeah, you show me good loving
Make it alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Your sugar, yes, please
Would you come and put it down on me? (down on me, down on me)
The lyrics to Maroon 5's "Sugar" featuring Nicki Minaj are about the singer's desire for love and affection from their partner. Nicki Minaj raps about wanting to show her partner how to dance and be intimate with her, while Maroon 5 sings about needing love and sympathy from his partner, and wanting their sugar - or their love and affection. Both artists emphasize a desire for physical and emotional connection to their significant other, which they need to feel secure and happy.
The chorus, "Your sugar, yes please, would you come and put it down on me?" is a metaphor for the need for love and affection in a relationship. The song speaks to the universal human desire to feel loved and desired by another person. Additionally, the song can be interpreted as a call to action for the singer's partner to show love and affection in actions, not just words.
