Love, youˤre getting lazy.
Youˤre forgetting to give me
sweet sugar,
words that I wanna hear.
You been neglecting me,
you know jealousy it is bitter as a green spring berry.
And just like fruit from a fickle vine,
you turn sweet in the nick oˤ time.
Love, you only come alive
when youˤre losing me.
And itˤs a childish game,
I gotta shake you up just ot wake you up
to make you love me.

chorus
Iˤll shake the sugar tree,
ˤtil I feel your love falling all around me.
You gotta tend to what you planted,
and if you take my love for granted, baby,
Iˤll shake the sugar tree.

Another night and youˤre sleeping,
Iˤm awake and Iˤm dreaming.
Oh honey, ˤbout the way that it used to be.
A little timeˤs gone by,
now do you think that Iˤm content with the cooking
and the payinˤ the rent? No I wanna know if your loveˤs allspent.

(repeat chorus)

Iˤve got to raise some commotion,
before you show me some real emotion.

(repeat chorus and fade)
