Phil Lewis (L.A. Guns) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me babe, Hey, hey!
Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?
Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah
Hey!
C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah
Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah
Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah
You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
'Cos I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet
From my head, my head, to my feet
Do you take sugar? one lump or two?
Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
Pour some sugar on me
Oh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
Get it, come get it
Pour your sugar on me
Ooh
Pour some sugar on me
Yeah! Sugar me!
The first verse of the song starts with an invitation to the listener to walk with the singer, and continue to join him in experiencing love in a manner that's explosive and explosive like a bomb. The second verse focuses on the energy of the situation, using playful imagery to suggest what's happening. The singer asks for his partner's company, revealing himself to be a little bit of a wild story. The chorus is made up of three repetitions of a request to have some sugar poured on him, and he emphasizes the lack of sweetness that exists within himself, needing sugar poured on him. The pre-choruses only appear as a transitional moment between the verses and the chorus, borrowing from many styles of music, including musical theater and classic rock.
The lyrics are relatively simple and straightforward, laced with call-and-response moments that make it easy for audiences to sing along. The chorus has become quite famous, as it ends up being a catchy and memorable tune that many people will immediately recognize. The song is a classic staple of 80s rock music, embodying the era with infectious rhythms and an unabashed love of excess. The song is a joyful celebration of the pleasures of life, both physical and emotional. It's a party song that invites the listener in, urging them to participate in the celebration of life.
