Sugar
Tick tick...BOOM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You really broke me in two
But it's getting me through
I love the things you do
After the lovin' is through

Other loves pass me by
Make me wanna die
Its not the same with you

After the lovin is through

I love you honey
And I love your money
Youre all I need sweet mama
Sugar mama of mine

Well, the two of us
All alone in the world
What would we gain
From being apart
I got memories

They're all filled with gold
Yeah, they never grow old
With you in my heart

I'm wrapped up in you
And all you do
You're all I need
Sweet mama
Sweet sugar mama of mine

Don't know where I'm going to
All I know is whatever I do
I'll be there, coming along for the ride
Timbuktu, Kalamazoo
All Ineed is to be with you
Sweet mama
Sweet sugar mama
Sweet sugar mama of mine

Wrapped up in you
And all you do
You're all I need
Sweet mama

I love you honey
And I love your money
You're all I need
Sweet mama

Sweet sugar mama
Sweet sugar mama of mine
