Ooh
Ooh
Oh, baby!
Ooh
Ooh
Hey...
She knows exactly how to tantalize
She's out to get you danger by design
Cold-blooded vixen. She don't compromise
She's something 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, drifted higher than the ceiling
And ooh, baby, it's the ultimate feeling
You've got me lifted, feeling so gifted
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sweet talkin' lady, love how you entice
Sugar, with just the right amount of spice
Charming, alluring everyone's desire
She's out to get you you can't run you can't hide
She's something 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, well, baby, don't you be surprised
Got me lifted, drifted higher than the ceiling
And ooh, baby, it's the ultimate feeling
You've got me lifted, feeling so gifted
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, sugar, how you get so fly?
But you won't get me tonight
Got me lifted, drifted higher than the ceiling
And ooh, baby, it's the ultimate feeling
You've got me lifted, feeling so gifted
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, sugar, how you get so fly?
Sugar, how you get so fly?
The song "Sugar" by Robert Jates is an ode to the power of female charm and seduction. The opening lines immediately paint a picture of a woman with cherry lips and angel eyes who knows how to tantalize and has a dangerous edge. She is described as a "cold-blooded vixen" who does not compromise, making her all the more alluring. The lyrics caution the listener to beware of playing with fire, as this woman is "mystical in colored lights" and not typical in any sense. However, the chorus is a testament to the power of her seduction, as the singer describes feeling "lifted" and "drifted" by the experience of being with her - it's the "ultimate feeling" and there is no denying her charm.
The phrase "sugar, how you get so fly?" is repeated throughout the song, and seems to be a rhetorical question directed at the woman in question. The word "fly" can mean a few different things, but in this context it seems to refer to her allure and charisma - she is able to "fly" by capturing the attention and admiration of those around her. The other repeated line is "you won't get me tonight", which seems to be the singer's attempt to resist the woman's charms and maintain some sense of control over the situation.
This song captures the classic theme of the seductive woman who can bring a man to his knees with her charm and allure. The lyrics are straightforward and uncomplicated, but they paint a vivid picture of the woman in question and the effect she has on those around her. It's a catchy tune that is sure to get stuck in your head and leave you humming along.
